Duns driver cover, sorted

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

Employers around Duns recruit permanent drivers, planners and managers for cross-border and Irish Sea operations. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

We supply drivers to cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

The main freight links across southern Scotland are the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

What happens when you ask

You approve the driver

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

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.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

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

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 type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish 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.

A few details are enough to start: how many drivers, which licence and from when.
