We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Exeter and the South West, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
The market around Exeter is a long-distance market — planning around drive times and seasonality matters more than motorway proximity. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
If Exeter 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.
Drivers living near the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Exeter run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
