Filling driving seats in Merthyr Tydfil

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Operators across Wales load and deliver at sites such as the M4 corridor parks and the Cardiff and Newport docks. We match drivers who are comfortable with that geography and the roads that serve it — the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead.

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

Driver demand across Wales follows port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

What we need from you

Temporary drivers let Merthyr Tydfil 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.

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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
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.

Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.
