Temporary Driving Recruitment in Mitcham

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

Temporary drivers for Mitcham

Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.

Logistics employers around Mitcham compete in the UK's tightest labour market, where retaining permanent talent matters as much as hiring it. Across London & the South East, driving work runs out of sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

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

Freight across London & the South East is served by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

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

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

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

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

Operators in Mitcham often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

A driver request usually covers:

  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Checked before they start

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.

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