Temporary Driving Recruitment in Stowmarket

When a seat is empty in Stowmarket, we source a driver who holds the right licence and knows the work, then confirm them with you before they start.

East of England

Temporary drivers for Stowmarket

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

Logistics around Stowmarket is shaped by container traffic through the Haven ports, plus a strong agri-food and retail distribution base. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.

We supply drivers to container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution. Class 1 for trunking, Class 2 for rigid rounds, 7.5 tonne for regional multi-drop and vans for final-mile work.

The main freight links across the East of England are the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Why operators book temporary cover

How it works

How we fill the seat

We shortlist by licence

Drivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Extending or ending cover

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

Planning cover

What to put in a driver request

Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.

Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How many drivers you need
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

Checked before they start

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.

We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
