Driving recruitment for Barnstaple and the South West: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.
Sites across Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution 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 Barnstaple too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.
The main freight links across Devon & Cornwall are the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Temporary drivers let Barnstaple 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.
Driving work across Devon & Cornwall is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.
A driver request usually covers:
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.
We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
Give us the site, the vehicle and the pattern of work and we will do the rest.
