Dumper Drivers for Hertfordshire and the northern M25 corridor
Hertfordshire gives us a mixed dumper workload — residential substructure around Stevenage and Hatfield, commercial and studio-related works through Watford and Borehamwood, and highway-adjacent civils along the M1 and A1(M). Operators here are generally expected to move between plot work and haul route work in the same week.
Highway-adjacent jobs deserve care. Where a haul route crosses or abuts a live carriageway, the operator is working under a traffic management plan with defined crossing points and banksman control, and one unplanned movement can close your job down. We check references specifically on that discipline for these placements.
The county's road access makes it one of our faster areas for cover. Operators can come in from north London, Luton or Watford quickly.
Every dumper driver is checked before they reach your gate
Vetting is done before we put someone forward, not after you have inducted them. The evidence sits in our compliance pack and we will send it for your PQQ.
CPCS or NPORS category verified
Checked live against the register for the correct category — forward tipping (A09) and swivel tip are different endorsements and we confirm the one your machine needs.
Machine size matched
We ask the tonnage and whether the machine is cabbed or roll-over, and place operators who have run that size rather than assuming a card covers everything.
Right to work
Originals or share code checked in person, expiry dates tracked.
References on plant discipline
We ask previous sites specifically about pre-use checks, defect reporting and behaviour around pedestrians — not just whether the operator turned up.
