Quick Answer
After registering with an HGV recruitment agency, drivers normally complete Right to Work checks, driving licence verification, Driver CPC checks, digital tachograph checks, employment references and a registration interview before being matched to suitable driving roles.
At Right People, Made Simple, most registrations can be completed within 24 hours once all required documentation has been supplied, and many drivers are able to start work within a few days.

What Happens Immediately After I Register?
Once your application is submitted, our compliance team begins reviewing your documentation and qualifications.
We do not simply add drivers to a database. From the start we actively assess your suitability against current vacancies. This allows us to match candidates accurately and move quickly when the right opportunity appears.
Right to Work Checks
Every worker must have legal Right to Work in the UK before they can be supplied to clients.
Our compliance team verifies the necessary documents and confirms eligibility before progressing your registration. Without valid Right to Work documentation we cannot proceed or put you forward for driving roles.
Driving Licence, CPC and Digi Card Checks
We carefully review:
Driving licence categories
Any points or endorsements
Driver CPC status
Digital Tachograph Card
ADR qualifications
HIAB qualifications
Other relevant transport certifications
These checks allow us to understand exactly which roles you are qualified for. By confirming everything upfront, we can put you forward for suitable vacancies as soon as they arise.
Registration is not the end of the process — it is the point at which we begin actively matching you to the right driving opportunities.
What Happens During the Registration Call?
Once initial checks are underway, one of our experienced consultants will arrange a registration call.
The purpose is straightforward: to understand your experience, availability and preferences so we can find the most suitable role for you.
During the call we discuss:
Driving Experience Including Class 1 (C+E), Class 2 (C), container work, store deliveries, trunking, ADR work, HIAB work, event logistics and multi-drop experience.
Availability We will ask about the days you can work, day or night shift preferences, weekend availability, preferred travel distance and desired start date.
Preferred Job Types Not every driver is looking for the same thing. Some prefer ongoing contracts; others want flexibility and variety. We regularly recruit for:
Class 1 Driver Jobs
Class 2 Driver Jobs
General Haulage
Retail Distribution
Container Transport
ADR Driving
HIAB Driving
Event Logistics
Temporary Assignments
Temp-to-Perm Opportunities
The clearer we are on your preferences, the better we can match you.
Employment Reference Checks
As part of registration we obtain references from previous employers wherever possible.
Providing accurate contact details for recent employers can significantly speed up the process. If references take longer than expected, our consultants will keep you updated throughout.
How Quickly Can I Start Working?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
The timescale depends on:
How quickly documents are supplied
Completion of compliance checks
Availability of references
Your location
Licence category
Qualifications held
Current shift availability
Many drivers are ready for work within a few days of completing registration. Those who supply all required documentation at the outset are usually cleared much faster.
Why Does Right People, Made Simple Carry Out These Checks Before Offering Work?
Some agencies only complete compliance checks after a role has been identified. We prefer to complete them upfront because it allows us to:
Place drivers more quickly
Reduce unnecessary delays
Improve the accuracy of job matching
Meet legal obligations
Protect both clients and drivers
Avoid last-minute cancellations
Our goal is not simply to fill vacancies. It is to place the right driver in the right role.
Real Experience Matters
Our driving division works with transport operators, logistics providers, retail distribution businesses and specialist event logistics companies across the UK.
Every week we register new Class 1 and Class 2 drivers looking for temporary, ongoing and permanent opportunities.
One of the most common causes of delay is missing documentation or unavailable references. Drivers who provide their licence, CPC card, Digi Card and employer contact details from the beginning typically move through the process much more smoothly.
