New drivers wanted to join the fleet at Mark Watkins Haulage
Monday 12th September, 2022
A haulage firm is appealing for new drivers to join the fleet.
Mark Watkins Haulage, based in Newham Road, has a team of
four HGV drivers but wants to recruit at least two more.
The firm transports building material, such as sand and
gravel, to locations across Cornwall.
Owner Mark Watkins, who has been driving lorries for nearly
30 years, says there have been recruitment problems across the industry since
lockdown but he’s keen to attract qualified drivers to his firm.
“I could definitely do with at least two or three more,” he
said. “I know things have changed in the driving sector and it’s not just about
having a licence anymore,” he added, talking about the extra qualifications HGV
drivers have to maintain these days. “But it would be great to take on some new
drivers this year.”
