From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Dumfries operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
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.
Depots across the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Dumfries goes to someone who can get there every day.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dumfries run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
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.
Career drivers value a known start time, a clean vehicle and a transport office that plans ahead.
