Keep vehicles moving across Cumbria with temporary drivers booked around your shifts, from one night to an ongoing assignment.
Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.
Operations near Ambleside serve food producers, nuclear and marine employers and hauliers running long Anglo-Scottish legs. Across Cumbria, driving work runs out of sites such as the Kingmoor Park estates at Carlisle and the A69 corridor, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.
Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Ambleside too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.
The main freight links across Cumbria are the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Van drivers in AmblesideLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.
Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.
Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.
Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.
A driver request usually covers:
No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.
Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.
Share the start date and the expected duration. We will be straight with you about what we can cover.
