Temporary driving recruitment in Cumbernauld

Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.

Cumbernauld sits in Scotland, where the Central Belt's Eurocentral freight park and the M8 corridor handle the bulk of the country's distribution. Across Scotland, driving work runs out of sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

We supply drivers to grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

The main freight links across Scotland are the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

What we need from you

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Before the first shift

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.
