Need drivers in Sunderland? Tell us the licence, the site and the start time and we will begin sourcing suitable drivers.
One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.
From the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks, a lot of freight leaves the North East every night. Temporary drivers keep those vehicles moving when a regular driver is off.
Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across the North East book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.
The main freight links across the North East are the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Van drivers in SunderlandLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
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 work across the North East is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.
A driver request usually covers:
No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.
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.
A few details are enough to start: how many drivers, which licence and from when.
HGV Class 1 (C+E), HGV Class 2 (Category C), 7.5 tonne (C1) and van drivers, including multi-drop and delivery drivers.
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.
Licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status and card expiry, the digital tachograph card and right to work — plus ADR or HIAB where the work needs it.
Yes. Many bookings start as short-term cover and continue as an ongoing assignment. Tell us how long you expect to need the driver.
