Temporary Driving Recruitment in Oldham

From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Oldham and the surrounding area.

North West

A driving agency for Oldham operators

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

Logistics around Oldham is powered by the M6/M62 corridor, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and one of the UK's densest warehousing clusters. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across the North West book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Bookings across the North West can start at sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal, so we always confirm where the first shift begins.

How it works

How we fill the seat

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

Compliance is confirmed

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

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Planning cover

What to put in a driver request

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.

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
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
Compliance

Checks on every driver

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

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.
