South East

Havant driver cover, sorted

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

Havant sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. We book temporary drivers for sites across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow and for work that runs along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.

Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Havant too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.

Driver demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

Reasons for cover

Cover booked for

How it works

What happens when you ask

We shortlist by licence

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

First-shift briefing

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

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

What we need from you

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

Driving work across the South 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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
