Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Edinburgh transport managers.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Operators across the Lothians are served by the M8, M9 and City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the Forth ports at Grangemouth and Rosyth. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Permanent demand across the Lothians follows grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Edinburgh — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Edinburgh run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Scotland moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
