East of England

Filling driving seats in Bishop's Stortford

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

Bishop's Stortford sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We book temporary drivers for sites across Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port — the A14 freight corridor and the parks along the M11 and A1(M) and for work that runs along the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport.

Busy periods across the East of England rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.

Driver demand across the East of England follows container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

When a seat is empty

Cover booked for

How it works

The booking, step by step

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

First-shift briefing

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

Planned and urgent requests

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

Planning cover

What we need from you

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

Temporary cover works best when the driver is briefed properly. We pass on the site details, the vehicle and the contact on the day so nothing is left to chance.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.

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