Permanent HGV and LGV driver recruitment across Scotland, built around retention rather than filling a seat for a week.
We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.
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.
If Whitburn is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.
Hiring across Scotland is shaped by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.
Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
Indicative permanent salaries in Whitburn run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Whitburn operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
