Driving recruitment for Stranraer and Scotland: temporary drivers for holiday gaps, sickness, seasonal peaks and new contracts.
Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.
From the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M), a lot of freight leaves southern Scotland every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.
Whether you run artics out of a distribution centre or vans on parcel rounds, temporary cover for Stranraer starts with a short call about the work.
Work for cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across southern Scotland through the year.
Trunking, tramping and container work out of Stranraer.

Van drivers in StranraerDrivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.
Book holiday cover weeks ahead or send a same-week request. Both start the same way.
Cover is flexible by design. A booking can be a single shift, a fortnight of holiday cover or an assignment that runs for months. It can change as your workload does.
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:
Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish right to work.
A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
Share the start date and the expected duration. We will be straight with you about what we can cover.
