Temporary Driving Recruitment in Sleaford

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

East Midlands

Sleaford driver cover, sorted

Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.

Sleaford sits in the East Midlands — the spiritual home of UK 'big-shed' logistics, with DIRFT and Magna Park among the country's largest distribution clusters. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across the East Midlands book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.

Much of the vehicle movement across the East Midlands starts at DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1, where early departures leave little room for a late driver.

How it works

From request to first shift

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

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

For operators across the East Midlands, the cost of an empty seat is a vehicle that does not move. Temporary cover keeps the work flowing while longer-term staffing decisions are made.

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:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The start date and first shift time
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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