HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Anstruther

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Anstruther, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

Tayside & Fife

Permanent drivers for Anstruther operators

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Permanent vacancies across Tayside & Fife come from port and coastal logistics, food processing, retail distribution and manufacturing supply chains. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

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.

Depots across the M90 corridor, Rosyth and the Fife distribution parks compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Why Anstruther operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Anstruther goes to someone who can get there every day.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Anstruther

Indicative permanent salaries in Anstruther run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Permanent drivers in Anstruther — FAQs

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.
