Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Chippenham.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Logistics around Chippenham is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Across the South West, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
If Chippenham 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.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South West include food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Chippenham goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chippenham 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.
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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
