Keep vehicles moving across Devon & Cornwall with temporary drivers booked around your shifts, from one night to an ongoing assignment.
Flexible driver capacity for busy weeks, quiet cover for planned absence.
Employers around Tavistock recruit for chilled and ambient distribution, marine and port work and the summer demand peak. Across Devon & Cornwall, driving work runs out of sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.
Busy periods across Devon & Cornwall rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.
The main freight links across Devon & Cornwall are the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Temporary drivers let Tavistock operators cover a gap without changing their permanent headcount. The rota stays covered while the regular team takes leave, recovers from illness or absorbs a busy month.
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:
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before the first shift — and ADR or HIAB tickets where the job needs them.
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.
Share the start date and the expected duration. We will be straight with you about what we can cover.
