Devon & Cornwall

Permanent HGV drivers for Teignmouth

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

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.

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 Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Positions we place

From Class 1 to transport team leaders

Permanent roles across every licence category.

What sets the desk apart

A driver desk, not a generalist agency

Retention first

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.

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

What the market pays

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Teignmouth

Indicative permanent salaries in Teignmouth run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

How it works

What happens after you brief us

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What we ask at the start

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
