Temporary drivers for Moffat

One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.

Moffat draws on the southern Scotland labour market — trunking, ferry-linked groupage and food and drink distribution. Across southern Scotland, driving work runs out of sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Moffat too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.

Driver demand across southern Scotland follows Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

How we fill the seat

You approve the driver

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

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planned and urgent requests

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

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

A temporary driver for Moffat is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

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:

  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
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.

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
