Driving recruitment for Newark-on-Trent and the East Midlands: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.
Newark-on-Trent draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. Across the East Midlands, driving work runs out of sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.
Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Newark-on-Trent starts with a short call about the work.
Work for national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the East Midlands through the year.

For operators across the East Midlands, 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:
Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish 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.
Give us the site, the vehicle and the pattern of work and we will do the rest.
