Hiring a driver for good in Gillingham? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Permanent vacancies across the South East come from Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Permanent hires across the South East often come from drivers already working around the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Gillingham — 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 Gillingham run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the South East 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.
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.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
