Temporary Driving Recruitment in Tewkesbury

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

South West

Temporary drivers for Tewkesbury

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

Logistics around Tewkesbury is anchored by the Bristol ports and the M5 spine that serves Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We book temporary drivers for sites across Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country and for work that runs along the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury.

Busy periods across the South West rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.

Work for port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the South West through the year.

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

We shortlist by licence

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

Compliance is confirmed

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.

Planned and urgent requests

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

Planning cover

Getting the booking right first time

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • 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.

Reliability matters as much as the licence. We confirm availability for the whole booking before a driver is put forward.
