Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Wells.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Operators across the South West are served by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
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.
Across the South West, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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.
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 Wells run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. 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.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
