Filling driving seats in Ely

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

Ely sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. We book temporary drivers for sites across the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks and for work that runs along the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport.

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

Driver demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

What happens when you ask

We shortlist by licence

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

You approve the driver

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

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

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.

The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.

A driver request usually covers:

  • 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
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.

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.
