Filling driving seats in Norwich

Across Norfolk & the Fens, sites such as Great Yarmouth port and the southern North Sea energy base need drivers for every kind of vehicle, from artics on trunk work to vans on final-mile rounds.

Details that speed up a booking

For operators across Norfolk & the Fens, 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.

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 shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.
