South East

Filling driving seats in Ramsgate

Cover that arrives with the right licence and a clear brief on the job.

From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, a lot of freight leaves the South East every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

Busy periods across the South East rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.

Work for grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the South East through the year.

Details that speed up a booking

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Operators in Ramsgate 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:

  • How many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.

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.

Driving FAQs

The detail

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.

Do you also recruit permanent drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places HGV and LGV drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

What information helps you match a driver?

The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.

Can one request cover different driver types?

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.

What happens if the work runs longer than planned?

Tell us as soon as you know. Cover can be extended shift by shift or turned into an ongoing assignment.
