Permanent driver recruitment for Eyemouth employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
Permanent vacancies across southern Scotland come from cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Permanent hires across southern Scotland often come from drivers already working around the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M).
Permanent roles across every licence category.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
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 Eyemouth run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.
