Temporary Driving Recruitment in Ivybridge

When a seat is empty in Ivybridge, we source a driver who holds the right licence and knows the work, then confirm them with you before they start.

Devon & Cornwall

Temporary drivers for Ivybridge

Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.

Sites across the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

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

Freight across Devon & Cornwall is served by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Why operators book temporary cover

How it works

How we fill the seat

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.

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

Before you send a request

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.

Temporary cover works best when the driver is briefed properly. We pass on the site details, the vehicle and the contact on the day so nothing is left to chance.

A driver request usually covers:

  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Checked before they start

We check the paperwork that decides whether a driver can legally do the job: licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC and card dates, tacho card and right to work.

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