Need drivers in Derby? Tell us the licence, the site and the start time and we will begin sourcing suitable drivers.
Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.
Derby pairs a world-class advanced-manufacturing base with quick access to the East Midlands Gateway, making it a strong hub for both supply-chain and distribution talent. We book temporary drivers for sites across the East Midlands Gateway, the A50 corridor and the Pride Park and Raynesway sites and for work that runs along the A38, A50 and M1, East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands Gateway rail freight terminal.
For Derby operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.
Driver demand across Derbyshire follows national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.
C+E drivers for distribution and general haulage.

Van drivers in DerbyLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.
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.
Driving work across Derbyshire 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:
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.
We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
Share the start date and the expected duration. We will be straight with you about what we can cover.
HGV Class 1 (C+E), HGV Class 2 (Category C), 7.5 tonne (C1) and van drivers, including multi-drop and delivery drivers.
Licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status and card expiry, the digital tachograph card and right to work — plus ADR or HIAB where the work needs it.
The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.
Yes. A single request can include Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers. List each category and the number of drivers you need for it.
Tell us as soon as you know. Cover can be extended shift by shift or turned into an ongoing assignment.
