Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Salcombe transport managers.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Permanent vacancies across Devon & Cornwall come from chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Depots across Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
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.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
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 Salcombe 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
