Temporary Driving Recruitment in Nottingham

When a seat is empty in Nottingham, we source a driver who holds the right licence and knows the work, then confirm them with you before they start.

Nottinghamshire

A driving agency for Nottingham operators

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

Nottingham anchors the northern East Midlands, minutes from the East Midlands Gateway rail-freight terminal and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. Across Nottinghamshire, driving work runs out of sites such as the M1 corridor parks, East Midlands Gateway and the distribution sites around Junction 26, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

We supply drivers to national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

Freight across Nottinghamshire is served by the M1, A52 and A453, East Midlands Airport's air-freight hub and the East Midlands Gateway rail terminal. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

Mixed-category bookings

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

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 Nottingham 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.

Freight moving through the East Midlands relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Checks on every driver

Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
