Hiring a driver for good in Newtonmore? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Driving employers across the Highlands & Islands include distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.
Hiring across the Highlands & Islands is shaped by the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Newtonmore run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Scotland moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
Loading live roles…
Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.
We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.
It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.
Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.
Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.
