HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Woking

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Woking.

South East

A permanent driving desk for Woking

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Driving employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

If Woking is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Depots across the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Licence and CPC checked

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

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

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 good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Woking

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

Pay in the South East moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our process, step by step

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.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
