Temporary Driving Recruitment in Merton

From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Merton and the surrounding area.

London & the South East

A driving agency for Merton operators

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

Sites across the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across London & the South East book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Driver demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

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.

How it works

How a driver booking works

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planned and urgent requests

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.

Planning cover

Before you send a request

For operators across London & the South East, the cost of an empty seat is a vehicle that does not move. Temporary cover keeps the work flowing while longer-term staffing decisions are made.

The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Checks on every driver

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.
