Overview
Join to apply for the Class 1 HGV Driver role at DFDS. This is a night shift role, where you’ll be driving between our Larkhall and Inverness sites, moving freight safely and on time. You’ll be working with all sorts of cargo, from palletised goods to parcels, and making sure everything gets where it needs to be.
* Driving scheduled routes between Larkhall and Inverness
* Doing pre- and post-trip vehicle checks
* Keeping your paperwork tidy, delivery notes, logs, etc.
* Staying in touch with the depot if anything crops up
* Handling different types of freight, including chilled loads
You’ll be driving modern, well-maintained trucks, including refrigerated trailers, and working with a friendly, down-to-earth team who are all about getting the job done right.
About You
We’re looking for someone who’s confident behind the wheel of a truck and knows their way around Scotland, especially the Larkhall to Inverness route. You’ll need a valid HGV Class 1 licence, Driver CPC, and a tachograph card. If you’ve got experience with refrigerated transport or ADR certification, that’s a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
You’ll be working solo most nights, so being reliable, self-motivated, and good at managing your time is key. We also value clear communication, whether it’s updating the depot or flagging any issues on the road. If you’re safety-conscious, adaptable, and keep a cool head when things don’t go to plan, you’ll fit right in.
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
Working at DFDS
Join the movement and grow with us. We’ll support you on your journey and create the conditions that make it worthwhile. We’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, to acquire new skills and attributes. We want you to develop and progress within your career.
