Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Whitehaven, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the M6 corridor at Carlisle and Penrith on trunk routes via the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Hauliers serving food and drink and dairy processing, nuclear and marine supply chains, forestry and timber and regional hauliers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.
