Temporary Driving Recruitment in Barnet

Need drivers in Barnet? Tell us the licence, the site and the start time and we will begin sourcing suitable drivers.

London & the South East

Barnet driver cover, sorted

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

Sites across the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

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

The main freight links across London & the South East are the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

London's ULEZ covers vans up to 3.5 tonnes across all London boroughs. Heavier lorries fall under the Low Emission Zone and lorries over 12 tonnes need an HGV safety permit, so we check the vehicle before booking.

We shortlist by licence

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

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planned and urgent requests

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.

Planning cover

Details that speed up a booking

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.

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:

  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work.

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

A few details are enough to start: how many drivers, which licence and from when.
