Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Poole.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Much of the permanent driving work across the South West starts at Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country. 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.
Permanent demand across the South West follows port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs.
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 look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Poole goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Poole run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
