Permanent driver recruitment for Winchester employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Sites across the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Winchester run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
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…
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.
