Driving recruitment for Salcombe and the South West: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.
Sites across Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.
Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Salcombe too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.
The main freight links across Devon & Cornwall are the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Van drivers in SalcombeDrivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.
The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.
A driver request usually covers:
Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work.
A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
A few details are enough to start: how many drivers, which licence and from when.
