Driving recruitment for Long Eaton and the East Midlands: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Long Eaton sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. Across the East Midlands, driving work runs out of sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.
For Long Eaton operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.
The main freight links across the East Midlands are the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

A temporary driver for Long Eaton is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.
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:
No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.
Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.
