For Danish Employers
Hire Professional Drivers in Denmark
Publish your driver vacancies on FastDriver.eu, reach candidates across the five Danish regions, elsewhere in Europe and in eligible international markets, and manage applications yourself. Where a candidate needs a residence and work permit, we can assist with documentation and relocation coordination under a separate agreement.

A Driver Job Portal Built for Danish Employers
FastDriver.eu connects Danish hauliers, distribution companies, bus operators and last mile businesses with drivers actively looking for work.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence category, describe the routes and the shift pattern, and receive applications directly. Danish drivers expect the pay and the collective agreement position to be visible in the advert. Browse current Danish listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/denmark.
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 lease workers.
Your company reviews the applications, interviews the candidates, inspects the original licence and qualification documents, and signs the employment contract. The platform gives you reach; the hiring decision remains yours.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Operation Needs
Danish employers recruit across freight, distribution and passenger transport. State the licence category, the route type and the shift pattern, and say which collective agreement the role falls under.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Advertise for buschauffør on regional and municipal networks, flexible transport services, school routes and long distance coach work.
Distribution and Delivery Drivers
Publish roles for distributionschauffør, varebilchauffør and kurer positions in parcel networks, grocery delivery and urban logistics around Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense.
Taxi and Private Drivers
Advertise taxachauffør and private hire positions, subject to the licensing rules applying to passenger transport in Denmark.
Tanker, ADR and Specialist Drivers
Reach ADR chauffør, tankbilchauffør, container and crane equipped vehicle drivers for fuel distribution, agricultural supply and project cargo.
Use a job title only where it genuinely matches the role. Adding unrelated titles for extra traffic produces applications you will only reject.
Driver Hiring Across the Danish Regions
Denmark is divided into five regions and ninety eight municipalities. Freight movement concentrates on the corridor running from the German border up through Jutland and across the belts towards Zealand.
The land border with Germany makes southern Jutland the natural base for international haulage, customs handling and Nordic transit traffic.
Aarhus, Esbjerg, Hirtshals and Copenhagen handle container, ro-ro, fishing and offshore related traffic, each generating its own pattern of haulage.
The Triangle area around Kolding, Vejle and Fredericia is the country's central distribution point, with terminals positioned to serve the whole national market.
Food production and agricultural supply generate steady bulk, temperature controlled and livestock transport work across rural Jutland and Funen.
Where Danish Employers Are Hiring Drivers
Denmark has five regions, and each has a clear transport character. Naming the region and the municipality helps candidates judge the commute accurately.
Danish Driver Job Titles and the Terms Candidates Search
Danish drivers search in Danish, and they search by licence letter as often as by job title.
The standard freight term is lastbilchauffør, usually paired with kørekort C or kørekort C/E so that candidates can match themselves to the vehicle.
Distribution work has its own vocabulary. Distributionschauffør signals multi drop delivery with handling, which is different work from long haul, and candidates distinguish between the two.
Passenger roles use buschauffør, while van and courier work appears as varebilchauffør and kurer.
Specialist searches include ADR chauffør and tankbilchauffør, and many candidates also mention chaufføruddannelse or the EU qualification certificate in their profiles.
Publish in Danish for the domestic market, and add an English version when you are open to candidates from elsewhere in Europe. Stating the collective agreement and pay openly is normal practice here and improves response rates.
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 Danish vacancies.
Danish employers may receive applications from drivers based in Denmark, the other Nordic countries, EU and EEA states, Switzerland, the wider European region, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries, North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and other eligible international markets.
Nordic citizens may live and work in Denmark freely. EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals also have access to the labour market, subject to registration and to holding valid licence and qualification documents.
For third country nationals a residence and work permit from SIRI is required. Driving roles are not currently covered by the Positive List for Skilled Work, so the realistic routes are the Pay Limit and Supplementary Pay Limit schemes, which turn on salary rather than on occupation.
Three conditions catch employers out. Salary and terms must correspond to Danish standards, the salary must be paid into a Danish bank account in the driver's own name, and the supplementary scheme requires the job to have been advertised on Jobnet and EURES beforehand. Thresholds are revised annually, so check the current figures with SIRI. 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 in Denmark
State the licence category in the advert. It is the first filter Danish candidates apply.
Freight roles use C and C/E, with C1 and C1/E for lighter rigid vehicles. Passenger transport uses D and D1, with D/E and D1/E where a trailer is drawn. Van and courier work sits in category B.
Professional drivers in the C and D categories need the qualification certificate obtained through the chaufføruddannelse, shown as code 95 on the licence or on a driver qualification card, and renewed by periodic training every five years.
A digital tachograph driver card is required for in scope work, and ADR training is required for dangerous goods. Crane and lifting certificates are common additional requirements in construction and agricultural supply.
Where a third country national drives for a Danish operator on international journeys within the Union, a driver attestation may also be needed.
Experience requirements are set by operators. Distribution work usually calls for confidence with handling equipment and customer contact, while long haul roles look for route experience. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Posting a Driver Vacancy in Denmark

State the vehicle type and licence category, the code 95 position, and whether ADR or crane certification applies.
Say how many drivers you need, what experience you expect and what handling duties the role involves.
Describe the shift pattern honestly, including night and weekend work, and state the pay and the collective agreement the role falls under.
Confirm the start date, any language expectation, and whether you would consider candidates who require a residence and work permit.
Your company sets and honours the final employment terms.

Employer Responsibilities in Denmark
The Danish employer is responsible for the following.
Both the employer and the employee carry responsibility for ensuring that work is lawful, and SIRI runs spot checks. A permit is tied to the specific job it was granted for, so moving a driver into a different role requires a fresh application rather than an internal transfer.
FastDriver.eu does not issue any government approval.
FastDriver.eu cannot guarantee applications, candidate availability, candidate suitability, interview attendance, hiring outcomes, licence recognition, work permits, residence permits, visas, processing times or continued employment.
Misleading vacancy content may be removed from the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Danish employers publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu a vikarbureau?
No. It is a job portal, not a temporary staffing agency or recruitment agency, and it does not lease workers. Your company employs the driver directly.
Which Danish employers can use the platform?
Legally operating transport and logistics companies, hauliers, fleet operators, bus and coach operators, delivery and courier businesses and licensed passenger transport operators.
Can we publish vacancies in Danish?
Yes. Danish reaches the domestic market effectively, and an English version of the same vacancy broadens its reach to candidates abroad.
Should we state the pay and the collective agreement?
Yes. It is normal practice in Denmark, and it materially improves response rates. It also matters for permit applications, where salary and terms must correspond to Danish standards.
Can we recruit drivers from other Nordic or EU countries?
Yes. Nordic citizens may work freely in Denmark, and EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals have labour market access, subject to registration. Licence and qualification requirements still apply.
Are driver jobs on the Positive List?
Lorry, bus and van driver titles are not currently on the Positive List for Skilled Work. The list is revised twice a year, so check the current version. For now, the Pay Limit and Supplementary Pay Limit schemes are the practical routes.
Can we recruit drivers from Asia, Africa or Latin America?
International drivers can find and apply for Danish vacancies. Employment depends on a SIRI residence and work permit and on the driver holding a licence and qualification valid for use in Denmark.
What is the Supplementary Pay Limit scheme condition?
Among other conditions, the job must have been advertised on Jobnet and EURES beforehand, and the salary must meet the applicable threshold. Thresholds are revised annually, so confirm the current figure with SIRI.
Does the employer take part in the application?
Yes. On the standard form, the employer completes one part and the candidate the other. Alternatively, the candidate can grant a power of attorney so that the employer submits the entire application.
Is code 95 required in Denmark?
Yes. Professional drivers in the C and D categories need the qualification obtained through the chaufføruddannelse, shown as code 95, and must complete periodic training every 5 years.
Who verifies driving licences and documents?
Your company does. The platform may collect candidate information and assist with document coordination, but the employer is responsible for inspecting the originals and confirming lawful work.
Can FastDriver.eu promote urgent or multiple vacancies?
Yes. Promotion and employer support can be arranged for urgent needs or to recruit several drivers at once.
How long does it take to hire an international driver?
There is no fixed timeline. It depends on candidate availability, your own process and SIRI’s handling of the application. SIRI publishes indicative processing times for each scheme.
What does it cost to use FastDriver.eu as an employer?
Options depend on the number of vacancies, the promotion level and the support you need. Terms are agreed with your company in advance.
How do we start hiring?
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.
