We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Rochester and the South East, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
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.
Depots across the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Rochester goes to someone who can get there every day.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rochester 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
