Scotland

Recruiting permanent drivers in Motherwell

Drivers change jobs for a better rota, a closer depot or a newer fleet. We recruit with that in mind.

Sites across the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.

We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Scotland include whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Motherwell

Indicative permanent salaries in Motherwell 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.

How it works

From brief to start date

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
