Temporary Driving Recruitment in Cardiff

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

South Wales

Drivers for Cardiff shifts

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

Operators across South Wales load and deliver at sites such as the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the M4, A48 and A470, Cardiff Airport and the ABP ports at Cardiff and Newport.

Demand across South Wales comes from steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

Much of the vehicle movement across South Wales starts at the Cardiff and Newport ABP ports, Cardiff Bay and the M4 corridor parks, where early departures leave little room for a late driver.

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

Tell us the requirement

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

Extending or ending cover

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

Mixed-category bookings

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

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

A temporary driver for Cardiff is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

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 long you expect the cover to last
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Verified, not assumed

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

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.
