What is Haulage Driver Cover?
At Speedy Freight, we offer haulage driver cover services to cover the absence of regular drivers during their planned or unplanned time off. It is a crucial aspect of managing a fleet of vehicles and ensuring uninterrupted delivery operations.
Haulage driver cover can be needed for various reasons, including:
Annual Leave
When regular drivers take their scheduled annual leave or time off, their absence creates a temporary gap in the delivery workforce. Driver cover ensures that the deliveries can still be carried out efficiently during this period.
Sick Leave
If a haulage driver falls ill or faces a medical emergency, they might need to take sick leave, leaving the company in need of a temporary replacement to continue handling their deliveries.
Unforeseen Circumstances
Unexpected events, such as accidents or personal matters can also result in the need for immediate driver cover.
Having reliable haulage driver cover is essential for maintaining efficient delivery services, meeting customer expectations, and avoiding disruptions in the supply chain. It enables businesses to manage inevitable absences of their regular drivers while still providing consistent and timely deliveries to their clients.

Book Speedy Freight’s Haulage Driver Cover Services
Thanks to our experience, our vast range of vehicles and our reliability, Speedy Freight is the number one choice of haulage driver cover for many of our haulage partners or clients to act as an adjunct to their services.
Speedy Freight’s has vast experience working in a supportive capacity, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, many UK workplaces and haulage companies were forced to furlough their drivers. This meant that Speedy Freight was required to fill in the gaps for organisations across all industries, providing driver cover to fill gaps in the supply chain. Speedy Freight has since continued and grown their haulage driver cover services in recent years following the pandemic.
Speedy Freight can provide a standard haulage courier cover service or a completely bespoke cover for larger or more complex haulage requirements.
