Temporary Driving Recruitment in Wantage

A temporary driving agency for Wantage operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.

South East

Drivers for Wantage shifts

One agency for every licence category, booked around your operation.

Logistics operations around Wantage serve one of the UK's wealthiest consumer regions, with the Channel ports and Gatwick within the region. Across the South East, driving work runs out of sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

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

Driver demand across the South East follows grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs, so cover requests rise and fall with their calendars.

How it works

How a driver booking works

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.

Planned and urgent requests

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

Planning cover

Before you send a request

Some operators use temporary drivers to trial a new route or contract before committing to permanent hires. Others use them to flex with demand week by week.

Shift patterns vary more in driving than in almost any other logistics role: early starts for store deliveries, nights for trunking and long days for multi-drop. We ask about the pattern before we match.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The start date and first shift time
  • The type of work: trunking, rigid rounds, multi-drop or delivery
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Verified, not assumed

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.

Paperwork is the minimum. We also look at the work a driver has done recently, the vehicles they have driven and whether the shift pattern suits them.
