Permanent driver recruitment for Tarbert employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
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.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Permanent hires across the Highlands & Islands often come from drivers already working around the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet.
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.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
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 Tarbert 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.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
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.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Driver trainers and team leaders are often promoted from the cab. We recruit for both routes.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
