South East

Filling driving seats in Peacehaven

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

Peacehaven draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. We book temporary drivers for sites across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow and for work that runs along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover.

For Peacehaven operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Driver demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

From request to first shift

We shortlist by licence

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

Compliance is confirmed

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

Mixed-category bookings

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

Details that speed up a booking

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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • 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.

Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
