We recruit permanent Class 1, Class 2 and 7.5 tonne drivers for Galashiels and Scotland, screened on licence and experience before you meet them.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Sites across the A74(M) corridor and the Dumfries and Annan industrial estates run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across southern Scotland include Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
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 Galashiels goes to someone who can get there every day.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Indicative permanent salaries in Galashiels 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
