Driver cover across Leicester

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Leicester sits at the centre of the East Midlands 'Golden Triangle', with Magna Park — one of Europe's largest dedicated distribution parks — on its doorstep. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

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

The main freight links across Leicestershire are the M1, M69 and A6, East Midlands Airport and nearby rail freight terminals. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Four licence categories, one booking

How it works

From request to first shift

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.

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

Planning cover

Details that speed up a booking

Temporary drivers let Leicester operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

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:

  • 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

What we check

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

For Leicester bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
