From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Kingsbridge operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Permanent vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. 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.
Depots across the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Kingsbridge goes to someone who can get there every day.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Kingsbridge — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kingsbridge run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
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.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
