From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Yate operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Much of the permanent driving work across the South West starts at the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester. 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.
Hiring across the South West is shaped by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
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.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Yate — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
Indicative permanent salaries in Yate 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.
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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
