From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Sandwich operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Logistics operations around Sandwich serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Depots across the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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 Sandwich 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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Sandwich 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.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
For Sandwich operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
