A temporary driving agency for Whitehaven operators — drivers sourced against your booking, with licence and compliance checks done before they arrive.
The licence, the shift pattern and the vehicle come first in every booking.
Sites across the M6 corridor at Carlisle and Penrith depend on drivers turning up on time. We brief every temporary driver on the site, the vehicle and the first job before they arrive.
Hauliers, 3PLs, retailers and own-account fleets across Cumbria book temporary drivers with us for planned and unplanned gaps.
Freight across Cumbria is served by the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington. A missing driver on any of those routes holds up everything behind it.

A driver request usually covers:
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.
