Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Scotland, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Driving employers across Scotland include grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Permanent hires across Scotland often come from drivers already working around Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
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.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Livingston goes to someone who can get there every day.
Indicative permanent salaries in Livingston 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.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
Loading live roles…

A short brief is enough to start: the vehicle, the pattern of work and the start date.
