Temporary Driving Recruitment in Thurso

From a single Class 1 shift to a fleet of van drivers for peak, we cover driving requirements across Thurso and the surrounding area.

Highlands & Islands

A driving agency for Thurso operators

Temporary driving recruitment built around the vehicle, the route and the start time.

Sites across the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

Demand across the Highlands & Islands comes from whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

Freight across the Highlands & Islands is served by the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

How it works

Booking cover in three steps

You approve the driver

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

First-shift briefing

The driver knows the site, the vehicle, the start time and who to report to before arriving.

Extending or ending cover

Tell us when the need changes. Cover can run on, step down or finish at the end of a shift.

Planning cover

What to put in a driver request

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.

Temporary cover works best when the driver is briefed properly. We pass on the site details, the vehicle and the contact on the day so nothing is left to chance.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Checks on every driver

We check the paperwork that decides whether a driver can legally do the job: licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC and card dates, tacho card and right to work.

Drivers are told exactly what the booking involves before they accept it: the site, the vehicle, the hours and the type of work.
