Hiring a driver for good in Dursley? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across the South West come from port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
If Dursley 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.
Depots across the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
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 Dursley run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
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.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Dursley operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
