Temporary Driving Recruitment in Newport

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

Wales

Keeping Newport fleets on the road

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

From the M4 and A55 corridors, the South Wales ports and the North Wales manufacturing parks, a lot of freight leaves Wales every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

We supply drivers to port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, 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 Wales is served by the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

How it works

How a driver booking works

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

You approve the driver

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

Planned and urgent requests

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

What to put in a driver request

Temporary drivers let Newport 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.

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 many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Compliance first

We check the paperwork that decides whether a driver can legally do the job: licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC and card dates, tacho card and 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.

Driving FAQs

Good to know

How do I book a temporary driver?

Send a driver request with your location, the driver category, the number of drivers, the start date and the expected duration. We confirm the details with you and then begin sourcing.

Do you also recruit permanent drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places HGV and LGV drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

What information helps you match a driver?

The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.

Can you cover night work in Newport?

Yes. Night trunking, early starts and weekend shifts can all be booked. Tell us the start time and the pattern so we match drivers who want that work.

What happens if the work runs longer than planned?

Tell us as soon as you know. Cover can be extended shift by shift or turned into an ongoing assignment.
