From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Thurso operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.
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.
Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.
Depots across the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Permanent drivers for your payroll in Thurso — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.
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 Thurso run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Pay in Scotland moves with the licence, the shift pattern and the work: nights, tramping and ADR usually carry a premium over day work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.
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.
