Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Minehead.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Sites across the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
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.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Minehead run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in the South West moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
