Temporary Driving Recruitment in Kingussie

Driving recruitment for Kingussie and Scotland: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.

Highlands & Islands

Kingussie driver cover, sorted

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

Employers around Kingussie recruit for distillery, agri-food and renewables supply chains, plus the operators who keep remote communities supplied. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Busy periods across the Highlands & Islands rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.

The main freight links across the Highlands & Islands are the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

What we need from you

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.

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 start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
