Temporary Driving Recruitment in Westhoughton

Temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van drivers for operations in and around Westhoughton, checked before the first shift and matched to the vehicle you run.

North West

Keeping Westhoughton fleets on the road

The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.

From container logistics on the Mersey to big-shed distribution on the M62, employers around Westhoughton compete for experienced permanent people. Across the North West, driving work runs out of sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

Hiring permanently as well? Our permanent driver desk covers Westhoughton too, so one agency handles the cover and the hire.

Freight across the North West is served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

What to put in a driver request

A temporary driver for Westhoughton is booked around the work, not the other way round: the licence, the vehicle and the pattern of shifts decide who we put forward.

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 start date and first shift time
  • The shift pattern: days, nights, weekends or a mix
  • Any specialist tickets such as ADR or HIAB
Compliance

Compliance first

Every booking is checked the same way: licence entitlement against the vehicle, a current Driver CPC for lorry work, a valid tachograph card and proof of right to work.

We ask drivers about the routes, vehicles and shift patterns they know best, so the match rests on experience rather than on a licence alone.
