Filling driving seats in Consett

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Operators across the North East load and deliver at sites such as the A1(M) and A19 corridor estates. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport.

We supply drivers to automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

Work for automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the North East through the year.

How it works

From request to first shift

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.

What we need from you

Temporary drivers let Consett operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

Driving work across the North East is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
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.

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.
