HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Shrewsbury
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Shrewsbury and the West Midlands, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Cover for Shrewsbury operators
Around Shrewsbury an operator can lose four warehouse staff on a Friday to a site two junctions away, which is why almost every large employer here works to a standing agency arrangement.
Transport around Shrewsbury works off the M6, M5, M42, M40, M54 and the M6 Toll, Birmingham Airport and the rail freight terminals at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, with volume concentrated in Birch Coppice at Dordon and its Birmingham Intermodal Freight Terminal off M42 junction 10. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly steel stockholders, metal processors and builders' merchants on flatbed and hiab work.
Contract wins and losses in big-shed warehousing move labour requirements in blocks of dozens and the ramp-up runs on agency staff long before permanent recruitment catches up.
Nights across the big sheds, typically 22:00 to 06:00, which is where the shortage runs deepest and the premium highest.
Most cover requests arrive for the wrong reason. A driver rings in sick at 04:30 and the load is booked for 06:00 — at that point the agency is choosing between the wrong person and nobody. Standing patterns booked a week ahead fill; emergencies at dawn frequently do not and an agency that pretends otherwise is one that sends the wrong person.
Transport Temps covers Shrewsbury 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.
What we check
Checked before the shift, not after the incident. Each item below is verified at registration and the licence checks repeat on a 90-day cycle.
Twelve weeks in the same role with the same hirer triggers equal treatment on pay and basic conditions under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. Most agencies notice this after the fact. We count it from shift one and flag it in advance.
All of it is completed before the assignment is confirmed. A worker who fails any part of it does not get offered the shift, which occasionally means we hand a booking back.
Pay and rates
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.
It depends entirely on notice. A booking placed the afternoon before is usually fillable; one placed at 05:00 for an 06:00 start rarely is, whatever any agency tells you. We will always give you a straight answer on the call rather than a maybe.

Good to know
What temporary staff can you supply in Shrewsbury?
The seats that go unfilled most often: Class 1 and Class 2 drivers, 7.5 tonne and multi-drop van, forklift and general warehouse. Qualification-led work like tanker or Moffett is a national desk rather than a local booking.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Shrewsbury?
Every worker clears the same gate: DVLA licence check, Driver CPC and tachograph card validity, right to work from original documents and two references. Anyone who fails a line of it is not offered the booking.
How does booking temporary staff in Shrewsbury work?
It starts with the seat and the shift pattern. What happens next is the part most agencies skip: the qualification check runs before confirmation, not after the worker is already at the gate.
