We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Chepstow and Wales, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across Wales come from steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Hiring across Wales is shaped by the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around 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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Chepstow goes to someone who can get there every day.
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 Chepstow 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.
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.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
