We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Sidmouth and the South West, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Sites across the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
If Sidmouth is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.
Permanent demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Sidmouth 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 Sidmouth run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. 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.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
