AtoZ Serwis Plus is a specialised truck driver recruitment agency in Ireland, serving logistics companies, transport operators, freight forwarders, and distribution networks across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, and other regions. We exist to solve one of the biggest challenges facing Ireland's transport today — the truck driver shortage affecting freight, cross-border routes, refrigerated logistics, and tanker transport.
For more than a decade, we have been connecting Irish transport companies with qualified candidates seeking truck driver jobs in Ireland. Every driver we recruit goes through a structured pre-screening process to verify their licence, Code 95 Ireland certification, medical fitness, and driving record. Every Irish employer we partner with is verified for legitimacy, compliance, and ethical hiring practices.
We are not just a job-matching service. We are a full-service recruitment partner that manages every stage of the recruitment journey — from sourcing and screening candidates, through Ireland work permit for truck drivers applications and Critical Skills / General Employment Permit processing, to travel coordination and onboarding once drivers arrive in Ireland. When you partner with AtoZ Serwis Plus, you get more than drivers. You get compliance, reliability, and long-term workforce stability.
Ireland's transport and logistics industry is in the middle of a workforce crisis. Industry analysts confirm that Ireland faces a serious shortage of qualified truck drivers across freight, refrigerated, container, and tanker transport sectors. The reasons are well-documented and structural rather than temporary: a rapidly ageing Irish driver workforce, expanding e-commerce, growing cross-border trade, and a generational decline in interest in HGV driver jobs in Ireland.
Ireland's logistics network covers the Atlantic gateway, the Port of Dublin, and growing e-commerce logistics, making professional truck drivers essential to the national economy. The average Irish truck driver is now over 50 years old, and younger drivers are not entering the profession in meaningful numbers — driving school enrolment for Class C and CE has dropped year after year.
For Irish transport companies, the consequences are real and immediate. Driver shortages translate into missed deliveries, idle trucks, lost contracts, and rising operational costs. For qualified drivers in countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Uganda, Kenya, Serbia, Bosnia, North Macedonia, and Ukraine, the same shortage represents a genuine opportunity — international truck driver jobs in Ireland are now widely available under the Critical Skills / General Employment Permit system.
This is the gap AtoZ Serwis Plus exists to bridge. We connect both sides of the workforce equation — qualified international drivers and licensed Irish employers — through a structured, transparent, and fully compliant recruitment process.

To join our driver talent pool for HGV driver jobs in Ireland and CE driver jobs in Ireland, candidates must meet certain minimum standards. These are the same standards expected by Irish employers and Irish transport authorities.
Drivers must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid C or CE category driving licence recognised by EU authorities. A professional driver qualification, such as Code 95 Ireland or the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), is required for commercial driving in Ireland. Drivers who are still completing certification can register with us, and we will guide you through the next steps.
Beyond licensing, candidates must have a clean driving record with no major violations, demonstrate sound knowledge of road safety regulations, hold a valid medical fitness certificate, and provide a passport with at least 12 months' remaining validity. Basic English and Irish language skills (A1 to A2 level) are highly recommended for working in Ireland, though many employers offer language support during onboarding.

Working in Ireland is a major opportunity, but it also comes with real challenges. Understanding these challenges in advance and knowing how to handle them makes the transition much smoother.
Challenge: Ireland primarily uses English and Irish for safety briefings, dispatch communication, and official documentation. Solution: Learn basic English and Irish at the A1-A2 level before applying. Many Irish employers offer language support during onboarding.
Challenge: Foreign certifications may require validation in Ireland before commercial driving is permitted. Solution: Complete Code 95 Ireland training in your home country before applying, or arrange validation through your Irish employer once your work permit is approved.
Challenge: Ireland work permit processing through the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment can take 8 to 12 weeks. Solution: Prepare all documents early, follow official guidance, and work with a licensed recruitment agency that handles paperwork professionally.
Challenge: Ireland's roads and driving conditions require specialised skills. Solution: Complete employer-led driving training, which typically covers local route specifics and Ireland tachograph compliance.
Challenge: Finding affordable housing in Dublin and other major cities can be competitive. Solution: Many Irish transport employers offer accommodation support, driver dormitories, or housing allowances.
Challenge: Ireland's traffic rules and tachograph compliance differ from those of non-EU regulations. Solution: Complete employer-led onboarding training covering Irish road safety, tachograph operation, and compliance with collective agreements.
Challenge: Fake recruiters who promise jobs in Ireland in exchange for upfront fees are a real and growing problem. Solution: Never pay any agent for a job offer. Use trusted, transparent partners like AtoZ Serwis Plus, where driver registration is and always will be free.
