Recruitment support for Pitlochry
Recruiting van driver staff around Pitlochry means competing for the same people as every other operator on the same corridors, so what the area looks like matters before a role is advertised.
The soft-fruit season around Pitlochry is one of the sharpest seasonal labour swings anywhere in Scotland and it lands on chilled transport as heavily as it lands on the fields.
Hiring here is shaped by the A90, A9 and M90, the Port of Dundee, the Rosyth port estate and the Forth crossings. The candidate pool concentrates around the Port of Dundee and the Dundee industrial estates along the Kingsway. The employers recruiting against you for it are typically retail and wholesale distributors supplying Tayside, Fife and the north.
Contract packing runs to promotional windows agreed with the supermarkets, so a packing line can go from one shift to three for the length of a promotion.
Transport Temps recruits into Pitlochry as a national employment business. The candidate pool is wider than a single town, with screening complete before anyone reaches your shortlist. Entitlement is evidenced first, every time.
Who we put forward
A Category B licence is a low barrier, so the screening that matters is not entitlement but reliability and attitude to customers. That is precisely the part a CV cannot evidence and an interview tends to flatter.
Filling a new round temporarily before recruiting to it permanently keeps the establishment honest. Volume that does not hold stops costing you the moment it stops arriving, rather than at the end of a notice period.
Working patterns
Twilight and night shifts on the packing lines through the fruit and promotional seasons.
Early starts dominate parcel and retail rounds. Weekend and evening patterns are common where delivery windows extend into the evening.
The cheapest retention lever in delivery recruitment is a realistic finish time. Candidates compare when they get home at least as closely as what they are paid and a round that ends when it says it does will out-recruit a better-paid one that does not.
Checks completed up front
A route to permanent, not a revolving door — the paperwork is settled before the interview, so the interview is about the person
- Licence category, endorsements and right to work verified before introduction.
- Category B work carries no CPC or tachograph requirement, so the screening is proportionate but it still happens first.
Earnings and uplifts
Van and multi-drop pay is set by the round rather than by the vehicle. Drop count is the number candidates actually compare. A route with fifty drops and heavy handball is a different job to one with twelve, whatever the job title says. The rate needs to reflect that or the vacancy reopens.
The twelve-week qualifying period applies to any temporary assignment, including one used to assess a candidate for a permanent role. We will tell you when somebody is approaching it.

The detail
How quickly can you cover a van driver shift in Pitlochry?

What do you check before a van driver starts work in Pitlochry?
Licence category, endorsements and right to work verified before introduction. Category B work carries no CPC or tachograph requirement, so the screening is proportionate but it still happens first. Those checks are completed before a candidate is put in front of you, because verification after a placement is a record rather than a control.
