Temporary Driving Recruitment in Hitchin

A temporary driving agency for Hitchin operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.

East of England

Keeping Hitchin fleets on the road

Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.

Logistics around Hitchin is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Demand across the East of England comes from port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

Bookings across the East of England can start at sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks, so we always confirm where the first shift begins.

How it works

How a driver booking works

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.

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

A temporary driver for Hitchin is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

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
  • How many drivers you need
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.

Good to know

How do I book a temporary driver?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places HGV and LGV drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

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.

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.

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.
