Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around Ashington, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.

North East

Keeping Ashington fleets on the road

Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.

Logistics around Ashington is driven by the A19 corridor, the region's deep-water ports and a strong automotive and process-industry base. We book temporary drivers for sites across the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks and for work that runs along the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport.

Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Ashington too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.

Work for automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the North East through the year.

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Most temporary driving requests start with a problem that cannot wait: a driver off sick, a holiday clash or a contract that starts before a permanent hire can be made.

Operators in Ashington often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

For Ashington bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
