Planners who cut empty miles and managers who keep the operator's licence safe, recruited for Herne Bay fleets.
A permanent transport hire should make the operation cheaper to run and easier to keep compliant.
Transport employers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Each plans a different kind of work, so we recruit to the network rather than the title.
Trunking networks, multi-drop rounds and dedicated contracts need different planners. We recruit each one differently.
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.
Permanent transport roles matched to fleet size, network and systems.
The Transport Manager CPC and any other qualifications the role needs are confirmed before a candidate reaches your shortlist.
Trunking, multi-drop or dedicated contract: we match planners to the kind of work they have planned before.

Indicative permanent salaries in Herne Bay run from around £28k for planners up to £55k+ for senior transport managers.
Transport managers usually earn more than planners and national networks more than local ones. Local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Fleet size, network, systems, hours and the problem the new hire needs to solve.
Planners and managers who are looking and those who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help settle salary, hours and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Good planners become transport managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the planning day as it really runs, not its quietest shift.
