Temporary Van & Multi-Drop Drivers in Stonehouse

When a van is short of a driver in Stonehouse, we source someone who knows multi-drop work.

South West

Final-mile cover for Stonehouse

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

Final-mile rounds from Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks often start early and finish when the last parcel is delivered. We book drivers who expect that pattern.

Two-person large-van jobs need a lead driver who handles the customer. Say if the booking needs one.

Final-mile demand across the South West comes from port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs. It peaks hard in the weeks before Christmas.

What van drivers do here

Where temporary van drivers help most.

How it works

Our booking process

We check the licence

The licence, endorsements and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

The vehicle, the round, the scanner or app and who to report to.

Cover can be extended

If volume stays high, tell us and we plan more days.

Van planning

Planning van cover

Drivers who have used a delivery app or scanner before start faster, so we ask which system the round runs on.

Same-day and courier work is less predictable than a fixed round. It suits drivers who are comfortable with changing jobs and longer distances.

For a van driver request, include:

  • Whether the vans are electric
  • The typical number of stops
  • The delivery area and any tricky access
  • Any two-person or heavy items on the round
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

We confirm the licence, review any endorsements and establish right to work — then brief the driver on the vehicle and the round.

Once the licence is confirmed, we look at recent multi-drop work: stop counts, delivery apps and the areas covered.

van FAQs

The detail

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.
