HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Dingwall

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Dingwall transport managers.

Highlands & Islands

Hiring drivers for good in Dingwall

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

Employers around Dingwall recruit for distillery, agri-food and renewables supply chains, plus the operators who keep remote communities supplied. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

If Dingwall is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands.

The jobs we work

The permanent seats we fill

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Dingwall

Right driver, right shift, right depot

Retention first

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.

Matched to the shift

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

The depot and the commute

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

Pay, clearly

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Screening

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

The offer

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

Your brief

The brief that works

For Dingwall operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

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:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Before you ask

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.

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.

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.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.
