Temporary Driving Recruitment in St Helens

Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around St Helens, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.

North West

Keeping St Helens fleets on the road

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

From the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool, a lot of freight leaves the North West every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

For St Helens operators we cover single shifts, runs of nights and assignments that last months. You tell us which; we plan around it.

Driver demand across the North West follows grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

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

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.

What to put in a driver request

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.

The more we know about the work, the better the match. A driver who has done similar work settles in faster and needs less supervision on the first shift.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.
