HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Carluke

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Carluke operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

Scotland

Carluke driver recruitment, done properly

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

Permanent vacancies across Scotland come from whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Depots across Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

How we work with Carluke fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

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.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Carluke — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Carluke

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

A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The shortlist

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

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

The start

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

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

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 help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

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.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
