Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Penzance transport managers.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Sites across Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Hiring across Devon & Cornwall is shaped by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
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.
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 Penzance 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
