What we need from you

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.

Operators in Basildon 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:

  • How many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.
