Transport Planning Recruitment in Bodmin

Hiring a transport manager in Bodmin? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.

Devon & Cornwall

Traffic office hiring across Bodmin

A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.

Fleets across Devon & Cornwall depend on the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Planners who know those links plan tighter days.

A transport offer competes with every haulier and 3PL within reach. We help set salary, on-call pay and bonus so it lands first time.

Transport demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.

Your brief

Your hiring brief

An empty planning desk costs more than the advert: overtime, missed slots and avoidable empty miles.

Notice periods for transport managers can be long, so we plan the handover from the first call.

A strong transport brief covers:

  • The network: trunking, multi-drop, pallet or dedicated
  • Hours, nights and on-call expectations
  • Salary, bonus and on-call pay
  • Your interview process and any planning exercise

Transport FAQs

Questions, answered

How do you check transport candidates?

We confirm qualifications such as the Transport Manager CPC, check right to work and ask about the fleets, networks and systems they have run.

Can you recruit night planners?

Yes. Tell us the hours and the network so we approach planners who want night work and have done it before.

Do you recruit fleet managers?

Yes. We recruit fleet managers and maintenance controllers who look after vehicle compliance and cost.

What is the difference between an internal and an external transport manager?

GOV.UK describes an internal transport manager as employed by a single operator and an external transport manager as a freelance manager working for more than one operator.

What makes a transport planner stay?

Good systems, sensible hours, a manager who trusts the plan and pay in line with the market.
