Temporary driving recruitment agency

Driver cover that keeps your operation moving

Freight Talent provides specialist temporary driving recruitment for businesses requiring flexible driver cover.

From last-minute driving requirements and holiday cover to peak periods and longer-term assignments, our driving recruitment service helps businesses maintain the driver capacity they need to keep their operations moving.

As a temporary driving agency working across the UK, we supply HGV Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, 7.5 tonne drivers and van drivers to hauliers, 3PLs, retailers, manufacturers and own-account fleets. Every driver is checked before they start and briefed on the vehicle, the route type and the shift.

Operators looking for an HGV driver agency usually need cover quickly, so we work licence first. The category, the Driver CPC and the tachograph card are confirmed before any driver is put forward — the first job of any HGV recruitment agency.

Recruiting permanently instead? Our permanent HGV & LGV driver recruitment desk places drivers onto your payroll. Our permanent recruitment division covers the transport office, warehouse and supply chain roles around them.

Why Freight Talent

Why Choose Freight Talent for Driving Recruitment?

A specialist transport, logistics and driving recruitment agency — permanent talent and temporary drivers from one partner.

Every driver we put forward holds the licence category, the Driver CPC and the experience the job needs.

Driver licence and compliance checks

Checked before the first shift

Licence & endorsement checks

We confirm the licence categories a driver actually holds and review endorsements before they start — so a Class 1 shift never goes to a Class 2 licence.

Driver CPC, DQC & tacho

Driver CPC status, Driver Qualification Card expiry and the digital tachograph card are checked and dated before the first shift.

Right to work & references

Right to work is established before any assignment. Specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB are checked where a job needs them.

Good to know

Temporary driving recruitment — FAQs

Do you supply temporary HGV drivers?

Yes. Freight Talent supplies temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) and Class 2 (Category C) drivers, 7.5 tonne drivers and van drivers to businesses across the UK — for holiday and sickness cover, seasonal peaks, new contracts and ongoing assignments.

What checks do you carry out on temporary drivers?

Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and any endorsements, check Driver CPC status and Driver Qualification Card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work. Where a job calls for ADR or another specialist ticket, we check that too.

How quickly can you supply a driver?

It depends on the licence category, the location and the shift. Tell us what you need and when. We will give you a straight answer when you book rather than promise a driver we cannot confirm.

Can you cover short-term and ongoing assignments?

Yes. We cover single shifts and short-term gaps as well as ongoing temporary driving assignments and planned cover for holidays, peaks and new contracts.

Do you also recruit permanent drivers?

Yes. Alongside temporary driving recruitment we recruit permanent HGV and LGV drivers and the transport, logistics and supply chain professionals around them — one specialist recruitment partner for both.
