Temporary Driving Recruitment in Shrewsbury

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

West Midlands

Shrewsbury driver cover, sorted

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

The road network across the West Midlands — the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections — shapes the driving work. Drivers we book for Shrewsbury sites know the routes they will be running.

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

Much of the vehicle movement across the West Midlands starts at Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54, where early departures leave little room for a late driver.

How it works

What happens when you ask

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

Compliance is confirmed

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

Planned and urgent requests

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

Details that speed up a booking

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

Temporary cover works best when the driver is briefed properly. We pass on the site details, the vehicle and the contact on the day so nothing is left to chance.

A driver request usually covers:

  • How many drivers you need
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

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.

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