Temporary Driving Recruitment in Braintree

Short-notice cover, peak support and ongoing driving assignments for Braintree employers — Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers from one agency.

East of England

Filling driving seats in Braintree

Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.

Braintree 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. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

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

The main freight links across the East of England are the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

What happens when you ask

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

You approve the driver

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

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

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.

The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The start date and first shift time
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.

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.
