Temporary Driving Recruitment in Redruth

Driving recruitment for Redruth and the South West: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.

Devon & Cornwall

Driver cover across Redruth

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

Redruth 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. We book temporary drivers for sites across Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots and for work that runs along the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth.

Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Redruth starts with a short call about the work.

Driver demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

The booking, step by step

Tell us the requirement

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

Mixed-category bookings

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

Planned and urgent requests

Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

Temporary drivers let Redruth operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.

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
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
Compliance

What we check

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.

For Redruth bookings, recent experience of the same kind of work matters more than years behind the wheel.
