Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Wales, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Driving employers across Wales include port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Across Wales, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
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 Pontypridd run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. 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 check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Pontypridd operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
