Temporary Driving Recruitment in Stonehaven

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

North East Scotland

Drivers for Stonehaven shifts

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

From Aberdeen harbour and the energy-supply bases at Altens and Tullos, a lot of freight leaves North East Scotland every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.

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

Freight across North East Scotland is served by the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

Planned and urgent requests

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

What to put in a driver request

Most temporary driving requests start with a problem that cannot wait: a driver off sick, a holiday clash or a contract that starts before a permanent hire can be made.

Operators in Stonehaven often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
Compliance

Verified, not assumed

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.

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

Driving FAQs

Common questions

How do I book a temporary driver?

Send a driver request with your location, the driver category, the number of drivers, the start date and the expected duration. We confirm the details with you and then begin sourcing.

Can you cover a single shift?

Yes. We cover single shifts and short gaps as well as runs of weeks and ongoing assignments.

Can a temporary booking become ongoing?

Yes. Many bookings start as short-term cover and continue as an ongoing assignment. Tell us how long you expect to need the driver.

Do you also recruit permanent drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places HGV and LGV drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

What information helps you match a driver?

The vehicle and trailer type, the route profile, the start time and whether the work involves nights out, multi-drop or specialist tickets.
