Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Barnstaple transport managers.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Operators across Devon & Cornwall are served by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
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 Devon & Cornwall include chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Barnstaple goes to someone who can get there every day.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Barnstaple — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Barnstaple run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
