Short-notice cover, peak support and ongoing driving assignments for Newhaven employers — Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers from one agency.
Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.
Sites across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.
Demand across the South East comes from Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
The main freight links across the South East are the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Most temporary driving requests start with a problem that cannot wait: a driver off sick, a holiday clash or a contract that starts before a permanent hire can be made.
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:
No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.
For Newhaven bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
