Vehicle Transporter Drivers
Advertise biltransport roles working from the Drammen terminal. Loading and securing cars on a multi deck trailer is a specific skill, so describe the equipment rather than asking for general CE experience.
For Buskerud Employers
Hire Professional Drivers in Buskerud
Publish your driver vacancies on FastDriver.eu, reach candidates across the county, elsewhere in Norway, throughout the EEA and in eligible international markets, and manage applications yourself. Buskerud runs from a working harbour on the fjord up to mountain passes that close in bad weather, so a single county covers two quite different kinds of driving. Where a candidate needs work authorisation, we can assist with documentation and relocation coordination under a separate agreement.
Direct employer hiring • European and international reach • Work permit and relocation guidance when required
A Driver Job Portal Built for Buskerud Employers
Buskerud has three distinct centres. Drammen holds the harbour and a vehicle import terminal, Kongsberg generates component and project traffic from its technology industry, and Hallingdal lives on a winter tourist season reached over high mountain roads.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence class and the YSK position, say which part of the county the work sits in, and receive applications directly. Browse current Norwegian listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/norway.
FastDriver.eu is a specialised driver job portal. It is not a recruitment agency or a temporary employment agency, it does not employ drivers and it does not supply workers under hire.
Because the lower county and Hallingdal do not share a driver pool, name the base rather than the region. Alongside the licence class and Code 95, name the sjåførkort where a tachograph is fitted, and on mountain routes describe the winter conditions honestly. You can open the Norway employer page for the national picture.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Fleet Needs
Employers here recruit across port and vehicle haulage, industrial component transport, regional distribution, timber work in the middle valleys and strongly seasonal mountain passenger transport.
Articulated Drivers
Publish vogntogsjåfør roles requiring class CE for port outbound traffic and runs on the E18, E134 and E16 corridors.
Industrial and Component Drivers
Reach candidates for component and project movements out of Kongsberg, where load securing and fixed delivery windows count for more than mileage.
Distribution Drivers
Advertise lastebilsjåfør and distribusjonssjåfør roles covering Drammen, Lier, Hokksund and Hønefoss, including produce from the Lier growing area.
Coach and Mountain Route Drivers
Publish bussjåfør and turbussjåfør roles serving Hemsedal, Geilo and the Hallingdal season. These need a kjøreseddel from the police and real confidence on winter mountain roads.
Only use a job title that genuinely matches the vacancy. Adding unrelated titles to attract extra traffic produces poor applications.
Driver Hiring Across Buskerud
Buskerud reaches from the Drammensfjord north west up the Hallingdal valley to the edge of the Hardangervidda plateau, climbing steadily the whole way.
Drammen holds the harbour, the vehicle terminal and most depot based employment, Kongsberg the technology industry, and Hønefoss the middle of the county and its timber traffic.
Employers commonly recruit around Drammen, Lier, Øvre Eiker, Kongsberg, Hønefoss, Modum, Gol, Ål and Hemsedal.
State the depot, the route and the roster. A driver needs to know whether the job stays on the fjord, runs the E134 west or climbs into Hallingdal in February.
The mountain roads genuinely change the job. Statutory winter equipment applies to any lorry over the weight threshold, chains have to be carried in the quantity the vehicle configuration requires, and passes can close at short notice. An advert for upper valley work should say so plainly rather than describing it as regional distribution.
Explore Driver Hiring by Norwegian County
Driver work differs sharply between the Oslo distribution belt, the fjord and ferry routes on the west coast, the inland forest districts and the long Arctic hauls. Open another county to see the hiring information that applies there.
Norwegian Driver Job Titles and How Candidates Search
Norwegian drivers search in Norwegian and bokmål is the written standard here. Tourism coach work in Hallingdal often needs English as well, so state which language the role actually requires.
Vogntogsjåfør is the articulated title and lastebilsjåfør the general freight one, with the licence written as klasse C or klasse CE. Yrkessjåfør is the broad term for a professional driver.
Yrkessjåførkompetanse, usually shortened to YSK, is the professional qualification. It is evidenced by Code 95 in field 12 on the back of the licence, issued by Statens vegvesen and kept current through periodic training. Code 95 held in another EU or EEA country is recognised in Norway.
Work type carries weight in searches. Biltransport, distribusjon, tømmertransport and turkjøring each describe a different day, and candidates filter on them.
Adverts also name the sjåførkort for the tachograph, the ADR-kompetansebevis where dangerous goods are carried, and the kjøreseddel for passenger work. These are separate from the licence and from Code 95.
A practical approach is a Norwegian advert naming the licence class, the Code 95 position and anything else the role genuinely requires, with an English version when you also want candidates from elsewhere in the EEA.
Recruit Drivers Locally, Across Europe or Worldwide
FastDriver.eu operates as a European driver job portal and allows candidates in other parts of the world to discover and apply for suitable Norwegian vacancies.
Employers in Buskerud may receive applications from drivers based in Norway, the EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, the wider European region, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries, North America, Latin America and other eligible international markets.
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may work in Norway without a permit under the EEA Agreement, though registration applies for stays beyond three months. Licence validity and professional qualification requirements still apply.
Norway is in the EEA but not in the European Union, so EU instruments such as the Blue Card do not apply here. For third country nationals the main route is a residence permit as a skilled worker, which requires a concrete job offer and a qualification that the authorities recognise. Whether a particular driving role and a particular candidate meet that test is decided by the Directorate of Immigration, so confirm the position before committing to a start date.
A candidate's ability to work here depends on nationality, residence status, professional qualifications, driving licence validity and the requirements of the individual position. Nationality alone never settles it. Drivers can check their own position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu can provide process guidance and document coordination when a candidate needs support. It does not make government decisions and cannot promise an approval.
Licences, Driver Qualification and Experience
Name the licence class and the Code 95 position in the advert. Candidates in Norway read both before anything else.
Freight work uses C and CE, with CE covering the vehicle transporters and the trunk traffic. Passenger transport uses D and D1, and the coach fleets make D the most asked for passenger class in the upper valley.
Professional drivers need the ammattipätevyys, held as a card and maintained through periodic training. It is issued separately for goods and for passenger transport, so state which your role requires rather than referring to it generally.
Professional drivers need yrkessjåførkompetanse, shown as Code 95 on the licence. Winter driving competence is part of the mandatory training in Norway, which matters here more than in the lowland counties: describe the passes and the season rather than asking for a number of winters.
If you cannot fill a role from the drivers already qualified, Norway has a vocational route: an apprenticeship in yrkessjaforfaget leading to a fagbrev, and a practice candidate route that lets an experienced worker sit the trade examination. NAV also runs labour market training that can include the heavy licence and Code 95. Both take longer than hiring a qualified driver, so check what is available locally before building a vacancy around them.
Experience expectations are set by operators. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying the original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Employers in Buskerud publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu a recruitment agency?
No. It is a job portal, not a recruitment agency or temporary employment agency. You advertise the vacancy, review the applicants and hire the driver directly.
Which employers in Buskerud can use the platform?
Legally operating hauliers, port and vehicle transport operators, industrial and project transport contractors, distribution companies, timber transport firms, bus companies and licensed coach and passenger transport operators.
Does the driver need Code 95?
Yes, for goods or passenger transport for payment in the heavy classes. Yrkessjåførkompetanse is shown as Code 95 in field 12 of the licence, issued by Statens vegvesen and renewed through periodic training. Code 95 from another EU or EEA country is recognised here.
What does mountain route work require?
Statutory winter tyres above the weight threshold, chains carried in the number the vehicle configuration requires, and the judgement to turn back when a pass closes. Describe the route and the season rather than asking for several winters, which tells candidates very little.
Does a statutory minimum wage apply to drivers?
For employed drivers carrying goods by road above the stated weight threshold, yes. A minimum hourly rate is set through the general application of the national collective agreement and is binding regardless of where the employer is established. Own account transport and apprentices are treated differently. Confirm the current rate with Arbeidstilsynet rather than relying on a published figure.
Can we recruit drivers from other EEA countries?
Yes. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may work in Norway without a permit under the EEA Agreement, with registration for stays beyond three months. Their Code 95 is recognised, though you should still verify licence validity yourself.
Can we consider candidates from outside the EEA?
International drivers can find and apply for vacancies here. Norway is not in the European Union, so there is no Blue Card route. The main option is a residence permit as a skilled worker, which needs a concrete offer and a recognised qualification, and the Directorate of Immigration decides whether a given role and candidate meet that test.
Can FastDriver.eu help with a work permit or visa?
Process guidance and document coordination may be provided as part of an agreed employer service. Every work permit, residence permit and visa decision rests with the responsible authority.
Is a hiring, permit or visa result guaranteed?
No. We cannot guarantee applications, candidate availability, employment, licence recognition, government approval or processing times.
Is Norwegian language ability required?
Most freight adverts ask for it. Coach and tour work around Geilo and Hemsedal frequently needs English in addition, so state both requirements separately rather than asking for language skills in general.
Is vehicle transporter work different from general CE work?
Yes. Loading and securing cars on a multi-deck trailer is its own skill, and most of it happens at the Drammen terminal in Norway. Describe the equipment and the routes rather than treating it as ordinary articulated work.
Who interviews and selects the drivers?
Your company does. You review applications, arrange interviews, verify the candidate and make the final decision. You employ the driver directly.
Does FastDriver.eu verify licences and documents?
The platform may collect candidate information and support basic document coordination. You must independently verify original documents, licence validity, qualifications, references and legal eligibility before employment.
Is relocation support available for roles in Buskerud?
When separately agreed, we can coordinate travel, arrival, and registration steps. Housing in Drammen costs less than Oslo while staying within reach of it, though accommodation in the Hallingdal resorts tightens sharply in season.
How does an employer in Buskerud start?
Submit the employer enquiry with your company details and driver requirements, or post the vacancy directly. Your team then reviews the applications and selects the driver.
