Highlands & Islands

Temporary driving recruitment in Oban

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

From the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet, a lot of freight leaves the Highlands & Islands every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

For Oban operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Work for distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the Highlands & Islands through the year.

The gaps we fill

Cover booked for

How it works

From request to first shift

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

Temporary drivers let Oban 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.

Driving work across the Highlands & Islands is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Before the first shift

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
