Temporary Driving Recruitment in Elgin

A temporary driving agency for Elgin operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.

North East Scotland

Keeping Elgin fleets on the road

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

The market around Elgin is dominated by Aberdeen's harbour and energy supply chain, with agri-food and chilled distribution close behind. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across North East Scotland book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Much of the vehicle movement across North East Scotland starts at Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos, where early departures leave little room for a late driver.

How it works

How a driver booking works

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

Compliance is confirmed

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

First-shift briefing

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

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

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 licence category the vehicle needs
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Compliance first

Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.

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