Temporary Driving Recruitment in Hackney

When a seat is empty in Hackney, we source a driver who holds the right licence and knows the work, then confirm them with you before they start.

London & the South East

A driving agency for Hackney operators

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

Logistics employers around Hackney compete in the UK's tightest labour market, where retaining permanent talent matters as much as hiring it. We book temporary drivers for sites across London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt and for work that runs along the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across London & the South East book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Work for urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across London & the South East through the year.

London's ULEZ covers vans up to 3.5 tonnes across all London boroughs. Heavier lorries fall under the Low Emission Zone and lorries over 12 tonnes need an HGV safety permit, so we check the vehicle before booking.

How it works

How a driver booking works

Planning cover

Before you send a request

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.

Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.

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
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Checks on every driver

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.

Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.

Driving FAQs

Frequently asked

How do I book a temporary driver?

Send a driver request with your location, the driver category, the number of drivers, the start date and the expected duration. We confirm the details with you and then begin sourcing.

What checks do you run on temporary 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.

Do you cover towns near Hackney?

Yes. We book drivers for sites across London & the South East, not only for Hackney itself. Tell us where the vehicle is based.

What information helps you match a driver?

The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.

What happens if the work runs longer than planned?

Tell us as soon as you know. Cover can be extended shift by shift or turned into an ongoing assignment.
