Temporary driving recruitment in Northampton

Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.

From DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Brackmills, Swan Valley and nearby Magna Park, a lot of freight leaves Northamptonshire every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

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

The main freight links across Northamptonshire are the M1, A14 and A45, with East Midlands Airport and DIRFT's rail freight terminal close by. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

What we need from you

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

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
  • The start date and first shift time
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Before the first shift

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 Northampton bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
