Permanent driver recruitment for Dawlish employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Dawlish sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across Devon & Cornwall include chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Dawlish — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
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 Dawlish run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
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.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
