South West

Recruiting permanent drivers in Midsomer Norton

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Sites across the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

If Midsomer Norton is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Hiring across the South West is shaped by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
