Hiring a driver for good in Abingdon? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Much of the permanent driving work across the South East starts at the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Abingdon goes to someone who can get there every day.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Abingdon 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
