Temporary drivers for Dalbeattie

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

From the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor, a lot of freight leaves southern Scotland every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

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

Driver demand across southern Scotland follows Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

How a driver booking works

We shortlist by licence

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

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planned and urgent requests

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

A temporary driver for Dalbeattie is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Checked before they start

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

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