🎉 Happy 40th Birthday to the boss, oor Chris 🎉

40 today... although some days he still acts about 14! 😆 If he's not winding someone up, he's plotting who to annoy next.

Hope you have a brilliant day, you've earned it apparently 😝 Here's to another year of bad jokes, endless banter, and a vodka or two to celebrate! 🍸

Happy 40th from the gang 🥳🍻

🚛 TruckFest Scotland... we're coming for you! 🍻🔥

This weekend we'll be swapping the workshop for TruckFest Scotland... and let's be honest, there'll probably be a few BBQs, a couple of beverages 🍺🥃, plenty of laughs, and more shiny trucks than you can shake a torque wrench at!

BUT... before anyone starts accusing us of skiving... 😏

🚨 Our 24hr Mobile Service Vans are STILL fully operational. If you break down, need roadside assistance, or your truck decides it's had enough, we're still only a phone call away. Business comes first... even if we're trying to admire everyone else's pride and joy! 😉

If you're heading to TruckFest, come and say hello! We'll be the ones talking trucks, taking the mick out of each other, and pretending we're "just having one" at the BBQ. 🍔😂

Have a fantastic weekend everyone! 🚛

☀️ You can't beat a day like this in Scotland! 😎

Today's mission? Collecting a customer's bus for onward delivery... and what better excuse to get the new lorry and big trailer out earning their keep! 🚛🚍

Safe, secure transport, a cracking view, and the new graphics looking the part too! 👌 Huge thanks to ZeroSeven Graphics in Clydebank for doing such a fantastic job, we're absolutely delighted with how they've turned out. 👏

If you spot us out and about today, give us a wave! 👋

🎓 Just left school?

Fancy a career where your hands get dirty, your tea goes cold, and your work actually matters?

We're looking for an Apprentice HGV Technician to join our team.

You'll be trained by a group of experienced mechanics whose favourite hobby is telling everyone how things were better in their day. They'll teach you everything they know, expect you to work hard, and introduce you to the fine art of workshop banter.

The office team will quickly become your unofficial workshop aunties, offering encouragement, life advice, and making sure you've remembered your lunch.

This isn't an easy job. You'll get dirty, you'll work in all weathers, and you'll need a thick skin. But if you're willing to learn, put the effort in, and can have a laugh along the way, you'll gain a skill that can set you up for life.

Think you've got what it takes?

HGV Technician Apprentice
Fancy getting paid to learn a trade that will last a lifetime?
We're looking for an Apprentice HGV Technician to join our busy workshop team.
Before you apply, let's be honest...
This isn't a job where you'll spend your day sitting behind a desk with a latte and air conditioning.

You'll get dirty.
You'll work in all weather conditions.
You'll lift heavy components.
You'll learn how to solve problems.
You'll occasionally wonder why truck manufacturers hide bolts in impossible places.
But you'll also learn a highly skilled trade from experienced technicians and become part of a business that genuinely supports its staff.

What you'll be doing:
• Assisting qualified HGV Technicians with servicing, maintenance and repairs
• Learning how to diagnose faults on a wide range of commercial vehicles and trailers
• Carrying out inspections and safety checks
• Keeping the workshop clean, organised and safe
• Developing the skills needed to become a fully qualified HGV Technician

What we're looking for:
• A strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Someone who isn't afraid of hard work
• Good practical skills and common sense
• Reliability and punctuality
• A positive attitude, even when it's raining sideways

A few important truths:
• If you need your mum to wake you up for work, this probably isn't the role for you.
• If you expect every day to be easy, this definitely isn't the role for you.
• If you can take a bit of banter, get stuck in, and aren't afraid to ask questions, you'll fit right in.

Our technicians are a great bunch. They've got years of experience and know their stuff. Like most workshop mechanics, they're set in their ways, enjoy a bit of workshop banter, and won't wrap you in cotton wool. What they will do is teach you everything they know if you're willing to listen, learn and put the effort in.

What you'll get:
• Full apprenticeship training
• Support from experienced technicians
• Real opportunities to progress within the company
• A career, not just a job
• The satisfaction of fixing things that actually matter
If you're hardworking, thick-skinned, keen to learn and ready to build a future in the commercial vehicle industry, we'd love to hear from you.

🚛 HGV Recovery Driver – Airdrie

Not all heroes wear capes. Some turn up at 3am with a recovery wagon.

We're expanding and looking for an experienced Class 1 Recovery Driver to join our growing team. This isn't your average driving job. One minute you could be recovering a broken-down artic from the side of a motorway, the next you're helping a stranded customer get back on the road. No two days are the same, and that's exactly how we like it.

We're looking for someone who can keep a cool head under pressure, take pride in their work, and doesn't mind being the person everyone is happy to see when things have gone wrong.

If you're the type of driver who enjoys a challenge and likes a bit of variety in their working day, keep reading.

What You'll Be Doing
🚛 Recovering HGVs, trailers and commercial vehicles
🚛 Attending roadside breakdowns and incidents
🚛 Loading, securing and transporting vehicles safely
🚛 Providing excellent customer service to drivers and customers
🚛 Completing all relevant paperwork and vehicle checks
🚛 Working closely with our workshop and transport teams
🚛 Maintaining a professional image at all times
🚛 Participating in our out-of-hours call-out rota

What We're Looking For
✔ Class 1 (C+E) licence essential
✔ Valid Driver CPC and Digital Tachograph Card
✔ Previous recovery experience preferred, but not essential for the right candidate
✔ Good geographical knowledge
✔ Ability to work independently and make decisions under pressure
✔ Professional, reliable and customer-focused
✔ A sense of humour is always welcome

What You'll Get
💷 Competitive salary
🚛 Modern recovery vehicles and equipment
📱 Company mobile phone
👕 PPE and company clothing provided
🏖 28 days holiday
📚 Ongoing training and development
💰 Company pension
⏰ Overtime opportunities
📈 The opportunity to join a fast-growing company
🤝 A supportive team that has your back

The Important Bit...
Recovery isn't just driving. It's problem-solving, helping people when they're having a bad day, and representing a company that prides itself on getting the job done.
Sometimes you'll be working in the sunshine. Sometimes you'll be recovering a fully loaded artic in the pouring rain at 2am wondering what life choices brought you here.
Either way, you'll be part of a team that's respected, trusted, and growing fast.
If you're looking for a job where every day is different and your work genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Location: Airdrie and surrounding areas

🚨🐣 EASTER WEEKEND? What Easter weekend? 🐣🚨

While most people are tucking into chocolate eggs and enjoying a lie in, our lot are out here living the dream 👨‍🔧💪

The office team have mysteriously vanished (we assume buried under Prosecco and roast dinners somewhere 🍷🍽️), but don’t worry we are STILL OPEN ALL WEEKEND.

🔧 Spanners are turning
🚐 Mobile vans & recovery trucks are rolling
📞 And yes… we’re on 24hr call-out (because HGVs don’t care what day it is)

Meanwhile, we’ll just be here working hard & definitely not jealous. Not even a little bit 😅

Happy Easter from the team 🐰🚛

jealous.no

Today we celebrate the women driving the UK motor trade forward. 🚗

From the workshop floor to the showroom and beyond, women across the industry are breaking barriers, leading change, and proving that talent has no gender 💁🏼‍♀️

Here’s to the skilled, passionate women shaping the future of automotive.

🌧️ Early starts, wet weather & WAY too much caffeine… must be another day at CLP! ☕😅

This morning kicked off with 3 ECU replacements before most people had even found their car keys. Our techs are powered by determination… and an unhealthy amount of coffee. Mostly the coffee.

Rain or shine (mostly rain today), we’re here keeping those HGVs rolling! 🚚💨

🚛✨ Customer Review Spotlight! ✨🚛

We love a good bit of positive feedback and this absolutely made our day! 🙌

'I am extremely grateful for the service and your engineer! That was a critical load of tar on the lorry so Thank you Thank you!'

Huge shoutout to our guys for keeping the wheels turning (literally) and proving once again why they are all legends. 🔧😄

Thanks to all our amazing customers for trusting us with your trucks and for keeping our team smiling with reviews like this!
