HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Dunoon

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

Scotland

Dunoon driver recruitment, done properly

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Driving employers across Scotland include grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Across Scotland, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates.

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 Dunoon 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.

Matched to the shift

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

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Pay benchmarks

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Dunoon

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

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

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

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
