The UK’s logistics network is the silent engine of the economy, yet far too often, the conversation around haulage is dominated by delays, shortages, and rising costs. Scratch the surface and you’ll usually find the same root cause: an undersupply of qualified HGV drivers. According to Logistics UK, the shortfall still is in the tens of thousands, and every empty cab feeds into missed delivery slots, ballooning agency fees, and morale-sapping overtime for the drivers you already have.
At UK HGV PRO, we exist to close that gap for good. We’re not an agency or a bolt-on recruitment firm. We’re a specialist HGV training partner that handles the entire licensing journey, including medical, theory, CPC, practical lessons, DVSA scheduling, and final test under one roof. Whether you need one new driver or have a few that need training, our mission is simple: keep your fleet moving with minimal admin on your side.
What Makes UK HGV PRO Different?
1. End-to-End Management Our team coordinates every milestone, so your transport office doesn’t have to. Candidates receive support for their theory test, access to online mock exams, reminders for medical appointments, and on-demand support throughout the process
2. Nationwide Training Network With 60-plus approved training centres, learners are rarely more than an hour from a test site. That geographic spread speeds up scheduling
3. Predictable Pricing & Finance Budget surprises are the enemy of scaling. We offer a transparent per-driver rate that folds every element—training hours, CPC modules, medicals, and test fees—into one figure.
4. Single Point of Contact Every client is assigned a dedicated account manager who acts as your training “air-traffic controller.” If a candidate needs an eye-test recheck or reschedules a theory slot, you hear it once: with the solution already mapped out. That means fewer emails, fewer spreadsheets, and more time to run your operation
5. Consistent Quality Control Because curriculum, vehicles, and instructors are standardised across our network, each learner meets the same safety and compliance benchmarks.
Introducing the “One for the Road” Campaign.
To accelerate driver supply in 2025, UK HGV PRO is launching One for the Road—a national initiative that invites every fleet-owning business to sponsor at least one new HGV trainee this quarter.
How It Works
- Nominate a Candidate
- Fixed-Fee Training Bundle Includes medical, theory coaching, CPC, practical tuition, and DVSA test slots
- Zero-Hassle Delivery UK HGV PRO manages every step, keeps you informed, and gets the candidate test-ready on an agreed timeline
- Driver Day-One Ready We hand back a fully qualified employee, primed for fleet induction and already steeped in your safety culture
Our shared goal is bold but achievable: 1,000 new qualified drivers on UK roads by year-end. Imagine the collective impact on delivery performance, customer satisfaction, and industry reputation if we all add just one driver each quarter.
Why Your Business Should Join Now
- Cut Agency Dependence One newly qualified driver can save thousands in ad-hoc agency fees over a peak season.
- Boost Retention & Culture Employees who see a clear development pathway, from warehouse floor to cab, are more likely to stay and champion your brand.
- Harden Operational Resilience With Brexit complexities, seasonal surges, and urban LEZ regulations tightening, having a steady in-house driver pipeline is the ultimate insurance policy.
The Road Ahead
Driver shortages aren’t going to evaporate on their own, but practical, scalable solutions already exist. UK HGV PRO’s One for the Road campaign offers a straightforward, budget-friendly way for businesses of any size to be part of that solution and reap the benefits in reliability, cost control, and customer experience.
