Filling driving seats in Cramlington

One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.

Cramlington sits in the North East, where Teesport, the Port of Tyne and the region's automotive supply chain shape a distinctive logistics labour market. We book temporary drivers for sites across the A1(M) and A19 corridor, the Port of Tyne, Teesport and the automotive supply-chain parks and for work that runs along the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport.

Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Cramlington too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.

Driver demand across the North East follows automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

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.

You approve the driver

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

Mixed-category bookings

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

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

Cover is flexible by design. A booking can be a single shift, a fortnight of holiday cover or an assignment that runs for months. It can change as your workload does.

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:

  • How many drivers you need
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
