HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Ivybridge

Ivybridge is a long way from the national distribution centres, so most goods arrive on a regional leg and are re-handled locally before they go anywhere.

Transport around Ivybridge works off the M5 south of Exeter, the A30, the A38 Devon Expressway, the A390 and A361, Cornwall Airport Newquay and the ports at Plymouth, Falmouth and Fowey, with volume concentrated in Skypark at Clyst Honiton, beside Exeter Airport. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly regional foodservice and drinks distributors supplying hospitality across the peninsula.

Hospitality across the peninsula orders more often and in smaller quantities in season, which raises the drop count and the driver requirement more than the tonnage suggests.

Early AM foodservice and drinks deliveries into hotels, pubs and holiday parks, finished before the roads fill up.

There is a reason we ask for the shift times and the postcode before quoting anything. A 05:00 start on an industrial estate with no bus route is a different booking from a 09:00 start in town and pricing it as though they are the same is how a shift ends up unfilled.

Hours are logged against the booking, submitted as a digital timesheet and sent to you to approve or reject with a reason. Approved timesheets roll into one consolidated weekly invoice with every shift itemised, rather than a pile of paper dockets at month end.

Same-day cover is possible where the pool allows it and next day is the realistic standard, particularly for bookings placed before mid-afternoon. We would rather tell you we cannot cover a shift than confirm one and fail to fill it on the morning.
