Keep vehicles moving across Scotland with temporary drivers booked around your shifts, from one night to an ongoing assignment.

Scotland

Filling driving seats in Ayr

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

The road network across Scotland — the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen — shapes the driving work. Drivers we book for Ayr sites know the routes they will be running.

Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Ayr starts with a short call about the work.

Work for whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across Scotland through the year.

How it works

From request to first shift

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

What we need from you

Temporary drivers let Ayr operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

Freight moving through Scotland relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.

A driver request usually covers:

  • How many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
