Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Kingston upon Thames.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Much of the permanent driving work across London & the South East starts at London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across London & the South East include e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
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 Kingston upon Thames 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.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
