Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around Melrose, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
The market around Melrose is a corridor market: long-haul and ferry-linked work rather than dense urban distribution. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.
Demand across southern Scotland comes from Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
Across southern Scotland, sites such as the A74(M) corridor and the Dumfries and Annan industrial estates need drivers for every kind of vehicle, from artics on trunk work to vans on final-mile rounds.

Van drivers in MelroseLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.
Temporary drivers let Melrose 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:
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.
Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
