Temporary van drivers in Durham

Parcel, courier and trade rounds, covered by one desk.

Final-mile rounds from Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 often start early and finish when the last parcel is delivered. We book drivers who expect that pattern.

If the round uses a handheld scanner or a delivery app, say which. Drivers who know the system start faster.

Final-mile demand across the North East comes from automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. It peaks hard in the weeks before Christmas.

Van planning

Planning van cover

A booking can be a single day of cover or an entire peak season. The request is the same.

Final-mile depots across the North East often run early loading and a mid-morning departure. Drivers who expect that rhythm settle in on day one.

For a van driver request, include:

  • Whether the vans are electric
  • How many drivers and for how many days
  • Any two-person or heavy items on the round
  • Who the drivers report to at the depot
Compliance

What we confirm

No van driver is confirmed until the licence and right-to-work checks are complete and the vehicle suits the licence held.

We ask van drivers which rounds, vans and scanners they have used, then match the work to that experience.

Give us the round, the vehicle and the start date and we will do the rest.

van FAQs

Frequently asked

What licence does a van driver need?

A category B licence covers vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass for petrol and diesel. We check the licence and review endorsements before a driver starts. Heavier petrol or diesel vans go to drivers with C1 entitlement.

Can you cover peak season?

Yes. Peak is one of the most common reasons operators book temporary van drivers. Tell us the dates and volumes early so the extra rounds are staffed before the rush.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Peak is best booked weeks ahead, when there is the widest choice of drivers.

Do you also recruit permanent delivery drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire. Temporary cover can run alongside the search.

Can drivers use our delivery app or scanner?

Yes. Tell us which system the round uses. We look for drivers who already know it, which saves time on the first shift.
