A temporary driving agency for Galashiels operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.
Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.
Galashiels draws on the southern Scotland labour market — trunking, ferry-linked groupage and food and drink distribution. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.
We supply drivers to Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.
Freight across southern Scotland is served by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.
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.
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:
We check the paperwork that decides whether a driver can legally do the job: licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC and card dates, tacho card and right to work.
Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
Send the vehicle type, the location and the shift. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable drivers.
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.
