Hiring a driver for good in Teignmouth? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
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.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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 categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Indicative permanent salaries in Teignmouth run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. 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 arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
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.
