Many of the Highlands' best-known tours, from the North Coast 500 to Skye and Glencoe, are driven on roads that test a coach driver. The same is true for the HGV drivers who keep island and rural communities supplied with food, fuel and building materials.
We supply drivers for Highland and island work, including seasonal and longer-term roles for drivers who want to live and work in the region.

Questions
Do you have drivers experienced on single-track roads?
Yes. For Highland and island work we only place drivers with experience of single-track roads, passing places and long mountain routes.

Yes. We recruit for seasonal touring roles and for longer placements on the islands, including Shetland. Tell us what you need and for how long.
Why operators choose Drivora
Drivora is run by qualified transport managers with real operational experience. Between us we hold Transport Manager CPC qualifications for both HGV and PCV, and our founder has more than 20 years in road transport and still drives coaches and lorries today. We know the operator's side of the job, and that shapes the way we work with you.
Before we put a driver forward, we check their licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work, and their ADR card where the work needs one. We ask about the vehicle, the route and the load, and we only offer drivers who have done similar work before.
Our drivers are engaged through PAYE or properly vetted limited companies. You'll know who is coming and what it will cost before the job, and timesheets are kept digitally so the paperwork is simple afterwards.
