Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Torquay.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
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 Torquay 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.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across Devon & Cornwall include 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.
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 Torquay goes to someone who can get there every day.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Torquay — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Torquay 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
