Temporary driving recruitment in Ealing

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

Sites across London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

Demand across London & the South East comes from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

The main freight links across London & the South East are the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

London's ULEZ covers vans up to 3.5 tonnes across all London boroughs. Heavier lorries fall under the Low Emission Zone and lorries over 12 tonnes need an HGV safety permit, so we check the vehicle before booking.

How it works

The booking, step by step

Tell us the requirement

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

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

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

A temporary driver for Ealing 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 London & 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:

  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Before the first shift

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.

Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.

How do I book a temporary driver?

Yes. Many bookings start as short-term cover and continue as an ongoing assignment. Tell us how long you expect to need the driver.

What information helps you match a driver?

The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.
