We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Bridgend and Wales, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Operators across Wales are served by the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Across Wales, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Bridgend — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bridgend run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.
