Hiring a driver for good in Fordingbridge? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Much of the permanent driving work across the South East starts at the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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.
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 Fordingbridge 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 help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
