Temporary Driving Recruitment in Crawley

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

South East

Keeping Crawley fleets on the road

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

Logistics operations around Crawley serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

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

Work for retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the South East through the year.

Planning cover

What to put in a driver request

For operators across the South East, the cost of an empty seat is a vehicle that does not move. Temporary cover keeps the work flowing while longer-term staffing decisions are made.

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 shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.

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.

Short of drivers this week?

Tell us the licence, the site and the start time

Tell us about the work in Crawley and we will come back with the drivers we can confirm.

What information helps you match a driver?
