HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Hawick
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Hawick and Scotland, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Why Hawick employers use an agency
Hawick sits on a corridor rather than in a conurbation — the freight passing through is heading somewhere else and the local work is agricultural, forestry or ferry-linked.
Transport around Hawick works off the M74 and A74(M), the A75 Irish Sea route, the A7, A68 and A1, plus the Cairnryan ferry terminals for Belfast and Larne, with volume concentrated in the A75 Irish Sea freight route through Castle Douglas and Newton Stewart. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly Anglo-Scottish trunking operators and groupage hauliers.
The trunk corridor generates its own demand: operators based elsewhere need drivers changed over or vehicles recovered part way along a long route.
Overnight trunking on the M74 and A74(M), the Anglo-Scottish backbone leg.
The measure that matters on temporary cover is not how fast an agency answers the phone. It is what proportion of booked heads actually arrive. A confirmed booking that fails on the morning costs more than a decline the previous afternoon, because by then there is no time to do anything else.
Cover for Hawick is arranged nationally, which is what lets us match the worker to the seat rather than to the postcode. Every driver and warehouse operative is vetted against your booking before confirmation, then travels in for the shift.
Compliance and vetting
The list below is what gets verified before confirmation. It is deliberately auditable, because your own compliance team may well want to see it.
The Agency Workers Regulations 2010 give an agency worker equal treatment on pay and basic conditions after 12 weeks in the same role with the same hirer. That clock starts on the first shift and we surface the count so it is never a surprise on the invoice.
The check happens before confirmation and the record is auditable. If your own compliance team wants to see it, they can, which is the point of keeping it digitally rather than in a drawer.
How pay works
The timesheet comes to you first. You approve it or reject it with a reason and only approved lines reach an invoice — which means the invoice should never be the first time you see a number you disagree with.
Next day is what we work to as standard. Same day happens when a suitable worker is free and the site is reachable and we will say which of those two you are getting rather than leaving you to find out at the gate.
