From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Dorchester operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Logistics around Dorchester is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Across the South West, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around 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.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Dorchester — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dorchester 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Dorchester operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
