We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Lymington and the South East, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
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.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Permanent hires across the South East often come from drivers already working around the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lymington 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.
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.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Lymington operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
