Suffolk & the Haven ports

Temporary driving recruitment in Felixstowe

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

From the Port of Felixstowe, the A14 freight corridor and the Haven Gateway parks, a lot of freight leaves Suffolk & the Haven ports every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

Busy periods across Suffolk & the Haven ports rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.

Work for port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across Suffolk & the Haven ports through the year.

Planning cover

Details that speed up a booking

Temporary drivers let Felixstowe operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

Operators in Felixstowe 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 licence category the vehicle needs
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Before the first shift

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.
