Temporary driving recruitment in Spalding

Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.

Spalding draws on the East Midlands' deep warehousing and distribution labour market, centred on the M1 and A14. Across the East Midlands, driving work runs out of sites such as DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

Demand across the East Midlands comes from big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

The main freight links across the East Midlands are the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

What happens when you ask

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

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.

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
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Before the first shift

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

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
