Hiring a driver for good in Stranraer? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Stranraer sits in southern Scotland, on the A74(M) and A75 routes that carry Anglo-Scottish and Irish Sea freight rather than Central Belt distribution traffic. Across southern Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M). The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
