HGV Driver & Warehouse Staff Agency in Rye
Vetted temporary drivers and warehouse staff supplied to operators in Rye and the South East, with digital timesheets and one consolidated weekly invoice.
Cover for operations in Rye
Rye is close enough to London to lose staff to it and far enough out to run its own regional distribution, which makes short-notice cover a standing feature of the local market rather than a seasonal one.
Transport around Rye works off 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, with volume concentrated in the Thames-side and Dartford Crossing estates at Swanscombe, Northfleet and Erith. The operators booking temporary cover here are mostly retail and grocery distribution centres serving the South East and the London fringe.
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.
Nights on trunk work between the south-coast ports and the Midlands parks, out and back inside a shift.
Shift cover is a planning problem dressed up as an emergency. Absence, holiday and peak are all foreseeable weeks ahead and the operations that never seem to be short are the ones treating cover as a standing arrangement rather than a series of crises.
Transport Temps covers Rye 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.
Before anyone starts
Every check below happens before a worker is confirmed onto your booking, not after they arrive.
Workers on assignment for 12 weeks in the same role qualify for equal treatment on pay and basic conditions under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. We track that week count from the first shift and tell you before it lands, rather than after.
These are checked at registration and then re-checked on a rolling 90-day cycle, because a licence that was clean in March tells you nothing about a driver in September.
Pay, honestly
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.
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.

Before you ask
What temporary staff can you supply in Rye?
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 Rye?
Licence entitlement is verified with a DVLA check, Driver CPC and tachograph cards are confirmed in date, right to work is evidenced and two work references are taken. All of it is completed before the worker is confirmed to you, not after they arrive.
How does booking temporary staff in Rye work?
You send the requirement, we confirm capacity, the compliance gate runs, then the worker attends. Hours are logged against the booking rather than reconstructed afterwards from a paper docket.
