Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Okehampton transport managers.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Employers around Okehampton recruit for chilled and ambient distribution, marine and port work and the summer demand peak. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
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 Devon & Cornwall include chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Okehampton goes to someone who can get there every day.
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 Okehampton run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
