Temporary driving recruitment in Belper

Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.

From the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall, a lot of freight leaves the East Midlands every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

We supply drivers to big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

The main freight links across the East Midlands are the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

The booking, step by step

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

First-shift briefing

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

Extending or ending cover

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

Details that speed up a booking

Temporary drivers let Belper 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.

Operators in Belper 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:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • 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

Before the first shift

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

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
