HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Warminster

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Warminster, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

South West

Permanent drivers for Warminster operators

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Warminster draws on the South West's distribution and port-logistics base, concentrated around the M5 corridor. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Permanent hires across the South West often come from drivers already working around the Avonmouth and Severnside estates.

Why Warminster operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Warminster goes to someone who can get there every day.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Warminster

Indicative permanent salaries in Warminster run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

For Warminster operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
