London & the South East

Filling driving seats in London

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

The road network across London & the South East — the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury — shapes the driving work. Drivers we book for London sites know the routes they will be running.

Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for London starts with a short call about the work.

Work for e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across London & the South East through the year.

London's ULEZ covers vans up to 3.5 tonnes across all London boroughs. Heavier lorries fall under the Low Emission Zone and lorries over 12 tonnes need an HGV safety permit, so we check the vehicle before booking.

What we need from you

Most temporary driving requests start with a problem that cannot wait: a driver off sick, a holiday clash or a contract that starts before a permanent hire can be made.

Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.

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

The paperwork we confirm

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