Van Driver Agency in Havant
Van and multi-drop drivers on a standard Category B licence, for parcel, courier and last-mile work, supplied to operators in Havant and the South East as temporary cover.
Agency cover in Havant
Perishable freight shapes a good deal of the work near Havant. Imported produce, chilled goods and cut flowers all move on shelf-life rather than on convenience and the load does not wait while a driver is found.
The freight geography around Havant runs on the M25, M3, M4, M20, M23 and M2, Gatwick Airport, the Channel ferry terminal at Dover, the shuttle terminal at Folkestone, DP World Southampton and the inland border facility at Sevington. Operators draw on the M4 corridor parks at Reading, Bracknell, Slough and Theale and the employers booking temporary staff here are typically chilled produce importers and packers moving fruit, salad and flowers on tight shelf-life.
Aerospace and manufacturing supply chains around the Solent and the Thames Valley run to build schedules, so line-feed and goods-in cover is wanted for the length of a programme and no longer.
Transport Temps covers Havant 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.
Cover we provide
Category B is the easiest licence to present and the hardest competence to prove. There is no CPC, no tachograph and no qualification card to fail, so the licence record and the references are the only formal controls that exist. Points, disqualification history and a straight conversation about the work carry the entire check.
Before an agency driver takes a company van, somebody has to confirm the insurance covers them, that the licence check is current and that the walkaround defect check has been done and signed. It is a five-minute question that stops a shift dead at six in the morning if nobody asked it the night before, so it gets asked when the booking is taken.
Shift cover we run
Nights on trunk work between the south-coast ports and the Midlands parks, out and back inside a shift.
Sortation and load-out start before dawn, with routes out by mid-morning. Grocery and evening delivery slots run through to late evening, including weekends.
The real cost of an unfinished round is not the driver's hours. It is the parcels that come back to the depot, get re-sorted, go out again the next day behind a promise that has already failed once and generate the calls that follow. One round short today is two rounds under pressure tomorrow, which is the argument for confirming cover the day before.
Checks that happen every time
Compliance you can audit — Every check below happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive.
- Category B licence checked by DVLA share code and re-checked every 90 days, with points and disqualification history reviewed.
- Right to work verified from original documents.
- References taken.
- Where the client requires it, a basic DBS check.
Pay and holiday
PAYE hourly or per route as agreed on the booking, paid weekly. Where a route is priced per drop, the drop count is agreed in writing before the shift rather than adjusted afterwards. Holiday accrues under the Working Time Regulations and every assignment is PAYE.
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.
Shifts on now
Shifts appear here once they are booked and confirmed. We would rather show you an empty board than an invented one — register your availability and we will match you against what comes in.
The detail
How quickly can you cover a van and multi-drop driver shift in Havant?
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.
What do you check before a van and multi-drop driver starts work in Havant?
Category B licence checked by DVLA share code and re-checked every 90 days, with points and disqualification history reviewed. Right to work verified from original documents. References taken. Where the client requires it, a basic DBS check. 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.
How does invoicing work for temporary staff in Havant?
Everything runs through the timesheet. Hours logged, sent to you, approved or rejected with a reason, then billed once a week in a single consolidated invoice.
