South East

Filling driving seats in Folkestone

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

Folkestone draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. Across the South East, driving work runs out of sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

For Folkestone operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Work for retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the South East through the year.

What we need from you

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.

Temporary cover works best when the driver is briefed properly. We pass on the site details, the vehicle and the contact on the day so nothing is left to chance.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.

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.

Do you cover towns near Folkestone?
