South East

A transport recruitment desk for Abingdon

A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.

Abingdon draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. Across the South East, transport offices at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates need planners who know the roads and the customers.

We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.

With the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover running through the region, transport planners across the South East often plan national as well as local work.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Abingdon operators with a growing fleet, the right permanent planner can pay for the role in miles saved.

Planners who leave early often cite the hours, on-call demands or an office that never plans ahead. We raise all three first.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The number and type of vehicles planned
  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • The routing and scheduling systems in use
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
