Permanent driver recruitment for Annan employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Much of the permanent driving work across southern Scotland starts at the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.
Permanent demand across southern Scotland follows cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Annan run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Scotland moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
