Temporary Driving Recruitment in Harwich

Keep vehicles moving across the East of England with temporary drivers booked around your shifts, from one night to an ongoing assignment.

East of England

Filling driving seats in Harwich

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Harwich sits in the East of England, anchored by Felixstowe — the UK's busiest container port — and the A14 freight corridor that carries its boxes inland. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

For Harwich operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Freight across the East of England is served by the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

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.

Compliance is confirmed

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

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

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.

Freight moving through the East of England 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:

  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work.

We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.

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

Can one request cover different driver types?

Yes. A single request can include Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers. List each category and the number of drivers you need for it.
