Temporary Driving Recruitment in Dover

Need drivers in Dover? Tell us the licence, the site and the start time and we will begin sourcing suitable drivers.

South East

Driver cover across Dover

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

Sites across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

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

Work for Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the South East through the year.

Four licence categories, one booking

How it works

The booking, step by step

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

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

Planning temporary cover

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.

Freight moving through the South East relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The start date and first shift time
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

What we check

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.

Give us the site, the vehicle and the pattern of work and we will do the rest.
