Kirkwall driving agency

Temporary Driving Recruitment in Kirkwall

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

Highlands & Islands

Drivers for Kirkwall shifts

One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.

Sites across Inverness and the A9 corridor distribution depots depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

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

Freight across the Highlands & Islands is served by the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

What operators use cover for

Cover booked for

How it works

How we fill the seat

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

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.

Freight moving through Scotland relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
Compliance

Verified, not assumed

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.

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.
