Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Kirkcudbright.
Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.
Driving employers across southern Scotland include Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Across southern Scotland, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the A74(M) corridor and the Dumfries and Annan industrial estates.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
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 Kirkcudbright 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 Kirkcudbright run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. 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 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.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
