Driving recruitment for Guildford and the South East: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.
From the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports, a lot of freight leaves the South East every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.
Demand across the South East comes from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
The main freight links across the South East are the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

For operators across the South East, the cost of an empty seat is a vehicle that does not move. Temporary cover keeps the work flowing while longer-term staffing decisions are made.
Freight moving through the South East relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.
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.
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.
