Hiring a driver for good in Oxford? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Operators across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
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.
Permanent demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oxford run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
