Kettering driving agency

Temporary Driving Recruitment in Kettering

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

East Midlands

Keeping Kettering fleets on the road

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

Sites across DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Magna Park and the big-shed parks on the M1 and A14 depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

For Kettering operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Driver demand across the East Midlands follows big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

What to put in a driver request

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

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
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

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.

Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.
