From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Waterlooville operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Much of the permanent driving work across the South East starts at the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Permanent demand across the South East follows grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
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.
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 Waterlooville 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.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
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.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.
Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.
Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
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.

A short brief is enough to start: the vehicle, the pattern of work and the start date.
