When a seat is empty in Axminster, we source a driver who holds the right licence and knows the work, then confirm them with you before they start.
Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.
From the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates, a lot of freight leaves Devon & Cornwall every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.
Demand across Devon & Cornwall comes from food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
Freight across Devon & Cornwall is served by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Van drivers in AxminsterDrivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
Cover is flexible by design. A booking can be a single shift, a fortnight of holiday cover or an assignment that runs for months. It can change as your workload does.
Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.
A driver request usually covers:
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.
Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
