Hiring a driver for good in Oban? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Sites across the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet run day, night and weekend patterns. We match a permanent driver to the pattern they will actually keep.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
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 roles for career drivers at every stage.
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.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oban 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.
Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
