Temporary Driving Recruitment in Bridgend

Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around Bridgend, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.

Wales

Keeping Bridgend fleets on the road

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

From the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks, a lot of freight leaves Wales every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

Demand across Wales comes from port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

Freight across Wales is served by the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

How it works

How a driver booking works

Tell us the requirement

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

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.

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Freight moving through Wales relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.

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
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Compliance first

Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.

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