Hiring a driver for good in Greenock? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Greenock is served by Scotland's logistics network, centred on the Central Belt's rail-connected freight parks. Across Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Hiring across Scotland is shaped by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Greenock goes to someone who can get there every day.
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 Greenock 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.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
