Better Work-Life Balance: Serve SPAR Scotland stores from the Dundee depot and sleep in your own bed - five nights a week. Most early runs are back mid-to-late afternoon; a minority finish later in the evening. No multi-nights away and no continental work.
Earn More for the Work You Do: We reward output as well as hours. Our recognised "standard hours" scheme pays for kms driven, cages delivered, backhauls and returns on top of your hours. Competent, efficient drivers can reach £50,000+ earnings with steady, predictable weeks - without being pushed to rush.
Planned Routes & Predictable Weeks: Your rota for the following week lands Thursday/Friday. Starts are fairly shared across rolling windows (earlies typically 03:00–08:00, some late departures 10:00–15:00) with day-before notice of changes. You'll learn a set of repeat routes during onboarding, then run those regularly - fewer surprises, lower stress.
Safety Comes First: We back legal, professional driving - no pressure to limit breaks or "make up time." Telematics and cameras protect you and ensure fairness. If an address or access is unsuitable, you stop and call - we support safe decisions and re-plan where needed.
Sensible Handling (Not Hours on a Bay): This is retail: cages and pump trucks, guided by your handheld. Handling time is built into the job and paid. Stores are briefed to receive deliveries; if a cage is unsafe or help isn't available, you escalate and we resolve — you're not on your own. A "master mover" can be provided where helpful.
Fair Rota, Fair Holidays: We operate a clear, consistent approach to rota allocation and holiday approvals. Plan ahead with confidence: approvals are respected wherever operationally possible, and we communicate early if plans need to shift.
Modern Refrigerated Fleet: Drive Scania, Volvo and Iveco tractors/rigids with refrigerated bodies, sleeper cabs, air-con, cameras and telematics. Tail lifts and your handheld terminal guide each step, from pre-trip checks to scanning every cage. Vehicles are well-maintained and spec'd for this work.
Supportive, Scottish, Family-Run: Over 106 years in Scotland, serving local communities. Expect a straight-talking, supportive culture: mentor drivers to share best routes and techniques, an active driver WhatsApp for quick answers, and solid facilities (showers, canteen, tea/coffee, vending, lockers).
Training, Standards & Who Thrives Here: Start with 3 weeks of structured onboarding (in-house and on-the-road), then run routes you've already learned. Most drivers settle within 3–6 months. This suits Class 1 drivers who want earnings without nights-out, and Class 2 drivers ready for rigids (and progression).
