From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Oakham and the surrounding area.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Logistics around Oakham is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.
We supply drivers to big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.
The main freight links across the East Midlands are the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Van drivers in OakhamDrivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.
Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.
Cover is flexible by design. A booking can be a single shift, a fortnight of holiday cover or an assignment that runs for months. It can change as your workload does.
Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.
A driver request usually covers:
Compliance comes before confirmation. Licence entitlement, endorsements, Driver CPC currency, the tacho card and right to work are all checked first.
We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
