Short-notice cover, peak support and ongoing driving assignments for Washington employers — Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers from one agency.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Washington draws on the North East's port, automotive and distribution talent. When an operator here loses a driver for a week, the rota still has to run — that is the gap we cover.
Busy periods across the North East rarely line up with your permanent headcount. Temporary drivers bridge the difference without adding to it.
The main freight links across the North East are the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.
Artic drivers for nights, days and nights out.

Van drivers in WashingtonLocation, driver category, number of drivers, start date and expected duration: the same details the request form asks for.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are checked before any name reaches you.
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.
Driving roles carry legal requirements that office roles do not. That is why the licence category and the Driver CPC are checked before a driver's experience is even discussed.
A driver request usually covers:
Before a driver starts we confirm the licence categories held and review endorsements, check Driver CPC status and card expiry, confirm the digital tachograph card and establish 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.
Give us the site, the vehicle and the pattern of work and we will do the rest.
