HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Uddingston

Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Scotland, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.

Scotland

Settled driving roles in Uddingston

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

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.

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 Scotland often come from drivers already working around the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse.

Why employers choose a specialist

Screened before you meet them

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.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Uddingston — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

How it works

How we find the driver

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Setting up the search

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Your questions

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

Do you cover towns near Uddingston?

Yes. We recruit permanent drivers across Scotland. Tell us where the depot is and we will search within a realistic commute.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.
