Temporary driving recruitment in Dartmouth

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

Operators across Devon & Cornwall load and deliver at sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth.

For Dartmouth operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Driver demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

The booking, step by step

We shortlist by licence

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

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

You approve the driver

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

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

Temporary drivers let Dartmouth operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

Driving work across Devon & Cornwall is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • 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.

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