Temporary driving recruitment in Plymouth

One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.

Plymouth sits in the far South West, beyond the end of the M5 at Exeter, where the A30 and A38 carry the freight and distances change how operations are run. Across Devon & Cornwall, driving work runs out of sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

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

Work for chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across Devon & Cornwall through the year.

What we need from you

A temporary driver for Plymouth is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

Operators in Plymouth often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Before the first shift

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.

Driving FAQs

Your questions answered

How do I book a temporary driver?

Send a driver request with your location, the driver category, the number of drivers, the start date and the expected duration. We confirm the details with you and then begin sourcing.

What checks do you run on temporary drivers?

Licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status and card expiry, the digital tachograph card and right to work — plus ADR or HIAB where the work needs it.

Do you cover towns near Plymouth?

Yes. We book drivers for sites across the South West, not only for Plymouth itself. Tell us where the vehicle is based.

Can you cover night work in Plymouth?

Yes. Night trunking, early starts and weekend shifts can all be booked. Tell us the start time and the pattern so we match drivers who want that work.

Yes. A single request can include Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers. List each category and the number of drivers you need for it.
