South East

Thatcham driver cover, sorted

Short-term gaps and ongoing assignments, handled by one specialist driving desk.

Thatcham sits in the South East's busy distribution belt, where the M25 corridor and the south-coast ports keep demand for logistics talent high. Across the South East, driving work runs out of sites such as the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

We supply drivers to Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. 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 South East are the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

How it works

What happens when you ask

Tell us the requirement

Location, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.

You approve the driver

We share who is starting and when. Nothing is confirmed until you are happy with it.

Planned and urgent requests

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

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

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:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
Compliance

Licence and paperwork

No driver is confirmed until the licence category matches the vehicle and the Driver CPC, tachograph card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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