The South West is one of the UK's busiest holiday regions, with coach tours running to the coasts of Devon, Cornwall and Dorset for much of the year.
On the freight side, the M4 and M5 link Bristol and Avonmouth with the rest of the country, and the long A30 and A38 routes into Devon and Cornwall need drivers comfortable with distance and holiday traffic.

Questions
Do you cover the summer touring peak in Devon and Cornwall?
Yes. Summer is the busiest time for South West touring, so we recommend booking drivers for the season as early as you can.
Can you supply drivers based in the South West?
Yes. Tell us where the vehicle starts and we will match drivers who can reach it, or who are happy to work away for a tour.
Why operators choose Drivora
Drivora is run by qualified transport managers with real operational experience. Between us we hold Transport Manager CPC qualifications for both HGV and PCV, and our founder has more than 20 years in road transport and still drives coaches and lorries today. We know the operator's side of the job, and that shapes the way we work with you.
Before we put a driver forward, we check their licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work, and their ADR card where the work needs one. We ask about the vehicle, the route and the load, and we only offer drivers who have done similar work before.
Our drivers are engaged through PAYE or properly vetted limited companies. You'll know who is coming and what it will cost before the job, and timesheets are kept digitally so the paperwork is simple afterwards.
