From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Wantage operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Logistics operations around Wantage serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
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.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Wantage run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
Loading live roles…
We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.
It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.
Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.
Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.
A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
