Temporary Driving Recruitment in Lerwick

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

Highlands & Islands

Keeping Lerwick fleets on the road

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

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.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across the Highlands & Islands book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Driver demand across the Highlands & Islands follows whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

Before you send a 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.

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
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
