Driving recruitment for Johnstone and Scotland: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Sites across the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.
Demand across Scotland comes from grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
The main freight links across Scotland are the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Temporary drivers let Johnstone operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.
Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.
A driver request usually covers:
Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work.
Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
