Temporary driving recruitment in Walsall

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

Sites across Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.

We supply drivers to automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. 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 West Midlands are the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

The gaps we fill

Cover booked for

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.

We shortlist by licence

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

Mixed-category bookings

One request can cover artic, rigid and van drivers for the same operation.

Planning cover

Planning temporary cover

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.

Operators in Walsall 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 site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How long you expect the cover to last
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
Compliance

Before the first shift

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

A good temporary driver arrives on time, reads the site rules and treats the vehicle as if it were their own. That is the standard we match against.
