Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Moffat.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
Moffat draws on the southern Scotland labour market — trunking, ferry-linked groupage and food and drink distribution. Across southern Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
If Moffat 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.
Hiring across southern Scotland is shaped by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Moffat 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
