HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Blantyre

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Scotland, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

Scotland

Settled driving roles in Blantyre

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Operators across Scotland are served by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

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.

Drivers living near Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.

Who we recruit

Permanent driver vacancies we cover in Blantyre

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

Licence and CPC checked

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

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Benchmarking the offer

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Blantyre

Indicative permanent salaries in Blantyre 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.

How it works

How we find the driver

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
