Temporary Driving Recruitment in Ellon

Driving recruitment for Ellon and Scotland: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.

North East Scotland

Driver cover across Ellon

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Sites across the Altens and East Tullos estates and the A96 corridor towards Elgin depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

We supply drivers to energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. 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 North East Scotland are the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Details that speed up a booking

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Operators in Ellon often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

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
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

What we check

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.

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

Licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status and card expiry, the digital tachograph card and right to work — plus ADR or HIAB where the work needs it.

Can you cover night work in Ellon?

Yes. Night trunking, early starts and weekend shifts can all be booked. Tell us the start time and the pattern so we match drivers who want that work.

What happens if the work runs longer than planned?
