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

Sites across the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across southern Scotland book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Work for cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across southern Scotland through the year.

How it works

From request to first shift

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

Compliance is confirmed

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

Planned and urgent requests

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

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.

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
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.
