In most circumstances, temporary drivers are employed in the event of staff shortages and usually during busy periods. With Christmas right around the corner, recruiting temporary drivers might be just what your firm needs to remain flexible and cope with the demand from customers for extra deliveries to replenish stock or supplies.

Christmas is without question one of the busiest periods of the calendar year, especially for haulage firms. In other industries, it is common practice to take on temporary staff during the holiday season, and from a haulage standpoint, it may well be an operational necessity to take on temporary drivers to meet customer demand and delivery schedules.
