Transport planning recruitment for Dudley operators who need a traffic office that plans ahead rather than firefights.
A good traffic office is invisible: vehicles leave on time, drivers stay legal and customers get what they were promised.
Transport vacancies across the West Midlands come from national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres. Each needs people who can plan for cost and compliance at once.
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.
The strongest transport candidates across the West Midlands are usually already planning for operators at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
For a new contract we can recruit the planners and the manager together, timed to the start date.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new planner learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dudley run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Our benchmarks use current offers for comparable fleets rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
For transport manager roles, the Transport Manager CPC is confirmed before anything else.
We arrange interviews and any planning exercise, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Many transport managers started as planners. We recruit for both steps of that career.
