Yorkshire

Ilkley driver cover, sorted

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

From the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports, a lot of freight leaves Yorkshire every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

Demand across Yorkshire comes from retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

The main freight links across Yorkshire are the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Planning cover

Details that speed up a booking

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.

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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

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.

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
