Dalbeattie driver recruitment, done properly

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

Operators across southern Scotland are served by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

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

Across southern Scotland, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

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

How we work with Dalbeattie fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Licence and CPC checked

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

Pay that lands

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

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Dalbeattie

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

How it works

Three stages to a hire

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.

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 hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

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:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

Do you recruit permanent HGV drivers in Dalbeattie?

Yes. We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for operators across southern Scotland, placed directly onto your payroll.

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.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
