Hiring a driver for good in Plymouth? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Much of the permanent driving work across Devon & Cornwall starts at Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
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 roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Plymouth 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.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Plymouth — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Plymouth run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
