Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Maidstone transport managers.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Maidstone sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
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.
Drivers living near the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
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.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Maidstone — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Maidstone run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
