North East

Filling driving seats in Wallsend

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

Wallsend draws on the North East's port, automotive and distribution talent. Across the North East, driving work runs out of sites such as Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

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

Work for automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs keeps artics, rigids and vans busy across the North East through the year.

How it works

What happens when you ask

We shortlist by licence

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

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.

Planning cover

What we need from you

Most temporary driving requests start with a problem that cannot wait: a driver off sick, a holiday clash or a contract that starts before a permanent hire can be made.

Operators in Wallsend often need cover at the same moments: school holidays, the run-up to Christmas and the first weeks of a new contract. Booking those peaks early gives the widest choice of drivers.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • Who the driver reports to on arrival
  • Whether the booking could become ongoing
Compliance

The paperwork we confirm

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.
