Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Devon & Cornwall, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Driving employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Across Devon & Cornwall, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
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 Camborne 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Camborne operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
