Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across the South West, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Sites across the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
If Burnham-on-Sea is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.
Permanent demand across the South West follows port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Burnham-on-Sea goes to someone who can get there every day.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Burnham-on-Sea run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the South West 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
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.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.
Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.
Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.
Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.
A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
