HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Rothesay

Permanent drivers for hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets in and around Rothesay.

Scotland

A permanent driving desk for Rothesay

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

Driving employers across Scotland include retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Across Scotland, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports.

Roles on our desk

Driving and transport roles

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

What you can expect

Permanent hires that last

Retention first

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.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Rothesay goes to someone who can get there every day.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

What good drivers cost

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Rothesay

Indicative permanent salaries in Rothesay 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

Our process, step by step

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.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

For Rothesay operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The start date and how many drivers you need

Driver FAQs

The detail

How long does a permanent driver search take?

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.

Can you recruit night trunking drivers?

Yes. Tell us the legs, the start time and whether nights out are involved, so we approach drivers who want that pattern.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
