HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Glasgow

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Glasgow, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

Central Scotland

Permanent drivers for Glasgow operators

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Glasgow and the Central Belt handle the bulk of Scotland's distribution — Eurocentral, one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks, sits right on the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh. We recruit permanent drivers for the fleets that keep that work moving.

If Glasgow is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent hires across Central Scotland often come from drivers already working around Eurocentral, Bellshill, Newhouse and the M8 corridor.

Why Glasgow operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Glasgow goes to someone who can get there every day.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

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 & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Glasgow

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

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.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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 licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
