Recruiting transport managers in Newquay

We look for planners who have planned your kind of work: trunking, multi-drop, pallet networks or dedicated contracts.

Operations at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots plan around delivery slots, drivers' hours and vehicle availability. We match planners to that reality.

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.

Across Devon & Cornwall, planners and transport managers are hired by chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers.

Transport FAQs

Common questions

What does a transport manager do?

On GOV.UK's list, a transport manager makes sure drivers have a valid licence, vehicles are taxed, insured, properly maintained and have a valid MOT, vehicles are loaded safely and not overloaded, drivers do not speed or break the drivers' hours rules and the operator does not break safety rules.

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.

Can you benchmark pay for a transport role?

Yes. We compare salary, bonus and on-call pay with current offers for similar fleets across the region.

Do you also recruit drivers?

Yes. Our driver desk recruits permanent HGV and LGV drivers and our temporary driving desk supplies cover.

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.
