Driving recruitment for Gateshead and the North East: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.
Operators across the North East load and deliver at sites such as the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport.
We supply drivers to automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution 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 the North East is served by the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.
Tyneside (Newcastle and Gateshead) runs a class C Clean Air Zone that charges HGVs and vans that miss the emission standard. We check the vehicle side before a driver is booked for city work.

Van drivers in GatesheadLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.
Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.
Cover is flexible by design. A booking can be a single shift, a fortnight of holiday cover or an assignment that runs for months. It can change as your workload does.
Driving work across the North East is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.
A driver request usually covers:
No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.
For Gateshead bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
