Temporary Driving Recruitment in Dumfries

From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Dumfries and the surrounding area.

southern Scotland

A driving agency for Dumfries operators

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

Dumfries draws on the southern Scotland labour market — trunking, ferry-linked groupage and food and drink distribution. We book temporary drivers for sites across the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor and for work that runs along the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals.

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

Work for Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across southern Scotland through the year.

Getting the booking right first time

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

The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Checks on every driver

We check the paperwork that decides whether a driver can legally do the job: licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC and card dates, tacho card and 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.
