From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Margate and the surrounding area.
Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.
From port and Channel freight to retail distribution, employers around Margate compete hard for experienced permanent people. Across the South East, driving work runs out of sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.
Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Margate starts with a short call about the work.
Freight across the South East is served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Van drivers in MargateLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.
Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.
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 work across the South East is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.
A driver request usually covers:
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.
Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
