HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Lanark

From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Lanark operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.

Scotland

Lanark driver recruitment, done properly

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

Operators across Scotland are served by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Across Scotland, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse along the M8 plus the Grangemouth port and refinery complex.

Roles we fill

Driving roles we recruit for

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

How we work with Lanark fleets

Fewer interviews, better hires

Retention first

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.

The depot and the commute

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

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Driver FAQs

Frequently asked

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Do you also recruit transport managers and planners?

Yes. Our transport and planning desk recruits the transport office roles around your drivers.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
