Permanent driver recruitment for Tain employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Operators across the Highlands & Islands are served by the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.
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.
Permanent hires across the Highlands & Islands often come from drivers already working around Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
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 Tain run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.
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.
