HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Wokingham

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Wokingham operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

South East

Wokingham driver recruitment, done properly

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Operators across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.

Across the South East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

How we work with Wokingham fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Licence and CPC checked

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

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.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

Screening

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

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

The start

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

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

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
