HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Thornaby
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Thornaby and the North East, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Why Thornaby operators come back
The freight around Thornaby moves in bulk: tankers, tipping, containers and abnormal loads rather than pallets on a curtainsider, so cover has to match the ticket as well as the licence.
Transport around Thornaby works off the A19, A66, A174 and A1(M), Teesport, Teesside International Airport and the Wilton and Billingham process complexes, with volume concentrated in Teesport and the Grangetown and South Bank riverside sites. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly chemical and process manufacturers with tanker, drum and bulk handling requirements.
Plant turnarounds pack months of materials movement into a short window and the haulage, yard and materials handling for them is contracted in every time.
Continuous shift patterns inside the process sites, days and nights, covering a plant that never stops.
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.
How cover for Thornaby works: you send the seat, the dates and the shift times. We source against that requirement from a national pool, complete the licence and right-to-work checks, then confirm a named worker who travels to your site.
Our vetting standard
The list below is what gets verified before confirmation. It is deliberately auditable, because your own compliance team may well want to see it.
Equal treatment on pay and basic conditions applies after 12 weeks in the same role under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We hold the count per worker per role and raise it with you before the threshold rather than on the invoice that follows it.
Every one of those happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive at the gate. Licence checks are re-run every 90 days rather than kept on file and assumed.
Rates explained
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.

Frequently asked
What temporary staff can you supply in Thornaby?
Drivers first — C+E, Cat C, 7.5 tonne and van — then the warehouse side: counterbalance and reach forklift, pickers, packers and goods-in. Anything needing an ADR or lorry-loader ticket goes through the specialist desks.
What checks do you run before a worker starts in Thornaby?
Driving entitlement against DVLA records, Driver CPC and digital tachograph cards in date, right to work evidenced from originals and two work-related references. The check runs before confirmation. Licence entitlement is then re-checked every 90 days.
How does booking temporary staff in Thornaby work?
Four things get it moving: what seat, how many, which days, what hours. We come back with a yes or a no rather than a maybe and nobody is confirmed until their checks are clear.
