Temporary Driving Recruitment in Morpeth

A temporary driving agency for Morpeth operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.

North East

Keeping Morpeth fleets on the road

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

From the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks, a lot of freight leaves the North East every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

We supply drivers to automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

Freight across the North East is served by the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

How it works

How we fill the seat

We shortlist by licence

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

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Extending or ending cover

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

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Temporary drivers let Morpeth 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
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.

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.

What information helps you match a driver?

Yes. A single request can include Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers. List each category and the number of drivers you need for it.
