depends on what experiance you have, where you are, what you are willing to do. n w highlands aint big on transport firms, ouite a few o/d’s but you could try some of these

they have about 20 trucks on the road

i dont know if any of these are taking on at the minute but you could ring to find out
It would help if you narrowed the locatin down a bit.There is not much in the way of industry in the N,W, Highlands.Mainly agriculture or forestry work for drivers.
As north as poss. Realistically I suppose Fort William or 40 minutes from in any direction

The link I put there is poss the closest
Be aware it does rain there a lot
If never been go a few times but at different times to get the feel for the place as it can be strange they dont like strangers moving in there a very tight knit community you will find they all know each other & know everyone business

and the midges love new blood lol
We have covered most of Scotland from /Glasgow upwards for the last twenty odd years. Kids have left home and its our time now. We have another little business which is mail order and can go anywhere. I was thinking of driving to make ends meet. Ideally nearer part time than full on stuff. Midgies use me as a mobile feeding station and you don’t go to Scotland evry year for 20 odd years if rain bothers you.
Good luck with your move…a great place to be i love the islands, money isnt everything but you need to live , a modest lifestyle mite be the sacrifice for the peace of mind in your quest, give it a go nothing ventured nothing gained.
As scotstrucker and animal have said, Fergusons would be your best bet.
A friend of mine got a start recently when he moved back up there after living in Glasgow for awhile.
