Hiring a transport manager in Exeter? We check the Transport Manager CPC first, then the experience behind it.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Operations at sites such as the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.
We ask candidates which routing software they use, how many vehicles they plan and what they have done about empty miles.
Transport demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.
Transport roles for trunking, multi-drop, pallet network and dedicated operations.
We ask which routing and scheduling systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Night planning, on-call and weekend cover are discussed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.
We look for managers who treat drivers' hours, maintenance and loading rules as part of the job, not paperwork.
Indicative permanent salaries in Exeter run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport office pay in the South West moves with the size of the fleet, the network and the hours: night planning and on-call usually pay more. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
