Yorkshire

Filling driving seats in Wetherby

Drivers matched to the work, not just to a postcode.

Wetherby draws on Yorkshire's deep distribution and port-logistics labour market, strung along the M62 and M1. Across Yorkshire, driving work runs out of sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley, so we ask where the vehicle is based before anything else.

Demand across Yorkshire comes from retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each booking starts with the licence category, the number of drivers and the date.

The main freight links across Yorkshire are the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. They run day and night. So does the need for drivers.

Details that speed up a booking

For operators across Yorkshire, the cost of an empty seat is a vehicle that does not move. Temporary cover keeps the work flowing while longer-term staffing decisions are made.

Driving work across Yorkshire is rarely one thing. The same operator may need a Class 1 driver for a night trunk and a van driver for the morning round. One request can cover both.

A driver request usually covers:

  • The site address or postcode where the vehicle is based
  • The licence category the vehicle needs
  • How many drivers you need
  • 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.

Where a job involves manual handling, customer contact or specialist equipment, we tell the driver before they accept the booking.

A few details are enough to start: how many drivers, which licence and from when.
