West Midlands

Permanent HGV drivers for Wednesbury

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Permanent vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Depots across Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles across every licence category.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Wednesbury — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Wednesbury

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
