Warwickshire & the West Midlands

Coventry driver cover, sorted

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

Operators across Warwickshire & the West Midlands load and deliver at sites such as Prologis Park Ryton, the Gateway and Whitley sites and the M6/M69 distribution corridor. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the M6, M69, M1 and A45, Birmingham Airport and Coventry's rail connections.

Demand across Warwickshire & the West Midlands comes from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

The main freight links across Warwickshire & the West Midlands are the M6, M69, M1 and A45, Birmingham Airport and Coventry's rail connections. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

From request to first shift

Tell us the requirement

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

We shortlist by licence

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

You approve the driver

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

Planning cover

Details that speed up a booking

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.

Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.
