From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Thornaby and the surrounding area.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Thornaby draws on the Tees Valley labour market — port, chemical and heavy-manufacturing logistics rather than urban parcel work. We book temporary drivers for sites across the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates and for work that runs along the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport.
Demand across the Tees Valley comes from chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.
Bookings across the Tees Valley can start at sites such as the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates, so we always confirm where the first shift begins.

Van drivers in ThornabyDrivers are matched on the category the vehicle needs first, then on experience of the work.
Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.
One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.
Planned cover is the easiest to arrange. Holidays, training days and known peaks can be booked in advance so the transport office is not firefighting on the day.
Freight moving through the North East relies on drivers turning up with the right entitlement for the vehicle. A mismatch is not a small problem: it stops the vehicle leaving the yard.
A driver request usually covers:
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.
One request covers a single shift or a run of weeks — tell us which you need.
