More Information
A large goods vehicle (LGV) driver transport products for suppliers and customers. Also known as a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) driver, they will be recruited by haulage firms, manufacturing companies and retailers. They can also be self-employed.
No specific qualifications are required for this line of work, but candidates will need an LGV licence category C1, C or C+E. New entrants to this profession may be able to secure themselves a place on a Young LGV Driver Training Scheme.
Recruitment agencies that specialise in driving, transport and logistics will be the best equipped to find suitable drivers, although general staffing firms may also have divisions dedicated to this. If the requirement is only for a short period of time, then a temp agency could help.
