A temporary driving agency for Ilkeston operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.
Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.
From DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1, a lot of freight leaves the East Midlands every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.
Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Ilkeston too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.
Freight across the East Midlands is served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
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.
The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.
A driver request usually covers:
Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.
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.
