East Midlands

Grantham driver cover, sorted

Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.

From the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub, a lot of freight leaves the East Midlands every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

We supply drivers to national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

The main freight links across the East Midlands are the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

The booking, step by step

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

We shortlist by licence

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

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

Planning cover

What we need from you

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.

Operators in Grantham 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 site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
