Short-notice cover, peak support and ongoing driving assignments for Pontypool employers — Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers from one agency.
Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.
Pontypool sits in Wales, where the M4 corridor, the ABP ports and a strong manufacturing base anchor the logistics labour market. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.
Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Pontypool too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.
Freight across Wales is served by the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Van drivers in PontypoolDrivers 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.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
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:
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.
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.
