HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Chester
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Chester and the North West, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
What Chester sites get from us
Around Chester the road network is dense enough that operators can run several deliveries in a shift, which raises the drop count and raises the cost of being one driver short.
Transport around Chester works off the M6, M62, M60, M56, M61 and M58, Manchester and Liverpool airports, the Liverpool2 and Royal Seaforth container terminals, the Manchester Ship Canal and the Irish Sea freight port at Heysham, with volume concentrated in the M6 corridor estates through Haydock, Newton-le-Willows and Winwick. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly chilled and ambient grocery distribution centres.
Grocery distribution across the region flexes around promotions, bank holidays and any weekend of decent weather, none of which is carried in permanent headcount.
Continental four-on four-off across the larger contract logistics sites, days then nights.
Shift cover is a planning problem dressed up as an emergency. Absence, holiday and peak are all foreseeable weeks ahead and the operations that never seem to be short are the ones treating cover as a standing arrangement rather than a series of crises.
Transport Temps covers Chester as a national agency. Drivers and warehouse staff are sourced against your specific booking, checked before they are confirmed and travel to your site for the shift. You get the person who fits the seat rather than whoever happened to be nearest.
The checks we run
Every check below happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive.
Long-running cover crosses the 12-week Agency Workers Regulations threshold, at which point equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies. It is a planning question, not a surprise, so we show you the week count as it builds.
These are checked at registration and then re-checked on a rolling 90-day cycle, because a licence that was clean in March tells you nothing about a driver in September.
Rates and payment
Weekly, consolidated and itemised by shift. If a line is wrong you reject the timesheet with a reason before it is billed, rather than paying it and reclaiming afterwards.
The honest answer is that speed depends on how specific the seat is. General warehouse cover moves fastest. A specific licence category, a site passport or an unusual start time all narrow the pool and lengthen the lead time.

Questions, answered
What temporary staff can you supply in Chester?
Everything from a single van driver for a day to a warehouse crew for a peak week: Class 1 and 2, 7.5 tonne, van, forklift and general warehouse. ADR, HIAB and tanker are national.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Chester?
Licence entitlement is verified with a DVLA check, Driver CPC and tachograph cards are confirmed in date, right to work is evidenced and two work references are taken. All of it is completed before the worker is confirmed to you, not after they arrive.
How does booking temporary staff in Chester work?
You send the requirement, we confirm capacity, the compliance gate runs, then the worker attends. Hours are logged against the booking rather than reconstructed afterwards from a paper docket.
