From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Cardiff operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Much of the permanent driving work across South Wales starts at the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across South Wales include steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
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 Cardiff run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:

A short brief is enough to start: the vehicle, the pattern of work and the start date.
