Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Dumbarton transport managers.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Much of the permanent driving work across Scotland starts at Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt. We search for drivers who already know that geography.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Hiring across Scotland is shaped by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Dumbarton goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dumbarton 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
