Temporary Driving Recruitment in Dundee

Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around Dundee, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.

Tayside & Fife

Drivers for Dundee shifts

Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.

Dundee draws on the Tayside and Fife labour market — food processing, port work, life sciences and regional distribution. Across Tayside & Fife, driving work runs out of sites such as the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Dundee starts with a short call about the work.

Freight across Tayside & Fife is served by the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Dundee city centre is one of Scotland's four Low Emission Zones, so the vehicle's emission standard matters for city-centre work.

How a driver booking works

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

Compliance is confirmed

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

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

Before you send a request

Temporary drivers let Dundee 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.

Freight moving through Scotland 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 site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Verified, not assumed

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.

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