Contracted worker transport for factories, plants and industrial sites across the Kingdom — three-shift rotations, night and Friday cover, accommodation-to-gate runs, standby vehicles held for breakdowns, and a manifest for every movement. A line does not stop because a coach did not arrive.

Industrial transport is a different operation from office duty. The vehicle has to be at the gate as one shift walks out and the next walks in, at two in the afternoon and at ten at night, every day of the year.
Six, two and ten, or whatever your plant runs. Each change is two movements — the outgoing shift home and the incoming shift in — timed so neither group waits at a gate in the heat or the dark.
Day and night crews on twelve-hour swings, including the weekly changeover when both crews move on the same day. Common in food processing, packaging and warehousing.
Labour accommodation to the industrial city and back, often forty to eighty kilometres each way. Coaches sized so nobody stands, with a fixed boarding sequence at the camp.
Extra movements for overtime crews, unplanned callouts and turnaround or shutdown periods when headcount triples for three weeks — booked against the same contract and the same invoice.
Fixed morning and evening runs for corporate staff, multi-point district pick-ups and management duty vehicles are covered on our Monthly Staff Duty page. Many clients run both contracts side by side on one account.
Included in the monthly price
A shift contract is judged on the nights nobody notices it. Everything below sits inside the monthly figure rather than appearing as a variation order the first time something goes wrong.
Reserve capacity is held against your contract and can be parked on or near site for larger operations. A coach failing at 21:40 does not become a late shift change at 22:00.
Vehicles are specified to industrial HSE expectations: a seat and a belt for every worker, governed speed, and passenger numbers that never exceed the seat count.
Site safety induction, gate passes, permits and vehicle stickers completed during mobilisation, so no driver is turned back at security on the first night.
Headcount recorded on and off at each boarding point, so your HSE and HR teams can account for who travelled on which vehicle, on which shift, on any date.
Accommodation-to-plant routes are planned with agreed roads, rest arrangements and driving-hour limits, in the shape most industrial clients already require of their contractors.
Drivers are assigned to your site and to a shift, not rotated weekly. They know the gate, the boarding sequence and the supervisors, which is what makes a 22:00 change take four minutes.
A coordinator is awake and reachable at every hour your plant runs, including Fridays and the Eid holidays. Nothing waits for an office to open.
Inside the monthly figure, with the driver's salary, visa and accommodation. Maintenance is scheduled around your rotation rather than against it.
Tell us your turnaround window when the contract is set up and the surge is planned into the year rather than scrambled for in the week before. Additional vehicles during a shutdown are charged per movement against the existing contract, with no new agreement to sign.
Pricing basis · per vehicle, per month
Priced per vehicle per month against your rotation, inclusive of driver, fuel, tolls, maintenance and insurance. Indicative starting figures for a continuous operation — your proposal is costed against your actual shift times, distances and headcount.
| Vehicle | Seats | Typical shift use | From / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Hiace | 11 | Small crews, technicians, callout cover | 8,500 |
| Toyota Coaster | 30 | The standard shift-change vehicle | 13,500 |
| 49-seat coach | 49 | Accommodation-to-plant line haul | 18,000 |
| GMC Yukon XL | 6 | Supervisors, HSE rounds, site patrol | 8,000 |
| Toyota Camry or Hyundai Sonata | 4 | Engineers and staff moving independently | 5,000 |
| Standby coach, held on contract | 30–49 | Reserve cover for breakdowns and surges | On request |
Figures assume a continuous seven-day operation within one industrial zone. Long-haul accommodation routes, a dedicated standby vehicle, Friday and holiday cover and shutdown surges are costed separately and shown as their own lines in the proposal.
A plant moving 300 workers on three shifts typically runs four to five Coasters with one standby. Send the rotation and we will size it precisely rather than approximately.
Cost my rotationHow a contract starts · four stages
Industrial contracts carry more setup than office ones — inductions, gate passes and a journey plan. Ten to fourteen days from agreement is typical, and we will tell you honestly if your date is not achievable.
Shift times, headcount per shift, accommodation locations, gate access, road restrictions and any HSE requirements your contractors must meet.
Vehicles per movement, boarding sequence, routes and timings, with a fixed monthly figure back within one working day.
Drivers inducted, gate passes and permits issued, vehicles stickered and inspected, and a dry run of the first shift change before go-live.
Running with a named night-capable coordinator, monthly invoice with the movement log, and a quarterly review as headcount and rotations change.
Safety and service commitments
These are written into the agreement and evidenced on request — the answers most industrial clients need before a contractor is allowed through the gate.
| Commitment | Standard |
|---|---|
| Seating and restraints | One seat and one belt per worker — standing passengers are never carried |
| Speed control | Governors fitted to coaches and buses, with speed reports available on request |
| Driver licensing and hours | TGA driver cards, defensive-driving briefed, driving hours managed against the rotation |
| Vehicle at the gate | Ten minutes before each shift change, every movement |
| Breakdown cover | Standby vehicle deployed within 45 minutes in-zone, faster where a vehicle is held on site |
| Coordinator response | Within 15 minutes at any hour, including nights, Fridays and Eid |
| Incident reporting | Written report to your HSE contact within 24 hours of any incident, however minor |
| Vehicle condition | Nothing older than six years, daily checks, air-conditioning verified before summer |
| Documentation | Licence, insurance, CR, VAT, driver IDs and inductions kept current in your contractor file |
Why plants change contractor
In an office, a transport failure is an irritation. On a production site it is a shift that starts thirty minutes down, a crew that cannot leave until their relief arrives, and an HSE incident waiting at a gate in the dark. Industrial clients do not move contractor because of price. They move because somebody did not turn up at 22:00 and nobody answered the phone.
Standby capacity only means something if the vehicle exists and is ours. A broker subcontracting your night shift cannot hold a spare coach for you at ten at night.
Night work is not a day operation stretched late. Drivers are rostered for it, coordination is staffed for it, and the 02:00 movement gets the same attention as the 06:00 one.
Seat belts, governors, driver cards, inductions, incident reporting and current certificates — assembled the way your contractor audit expects to receive them.
Every shift change recorded by date, vehicle, route and headcount. The monthly invoice reconciles to the log rather than to a single figure taken on trust.
Air-conditioning that works in August, a seat for everyone, and drivers who do not rush a boarding to make up time. How a contractor treats a night crew tells you what else they cut.
One monthly figure for the contract period, with surge work priced per movement at rates agreed up front. No fuel surcharge, no seasonal adjustment in month three.

Shift transport contract questions
Anything not here, ask the contracts team directly — someone answers at any hour, including through the night shift.
Yes, and that is most of this work. Drivers are rostered specifically for nights rather than stretched from a day roster, and a coordinator is awake at every hour your plant runs, including Fridays and the Eid holidays.
A standby vehicle is deployed, within 45 minutes in-zone and faster where a vehicle is held on your site. Reserve capacity is held against your contract because the fleet is owned rather than brokered.
Seat belts for every passenger, speed governors on coaches and buses, no standing passengers, daily checks and TGA-carded drivers briefed on defensive driving. Certificates and speed reports are provided for your contractor file.
During mobilisation. Driver IDs, iqamas and licences go into your security file, vehicle plates are registered, stickers issued and site safety inductions completed before the first shift change rather than at the gate on the first night.
Yes. Tell us the window when the contract is set up and the surge is planned into the year. Additional vehicles are charged per movement at rates agreed in advance, on the same contract and invoice.
Yes. Headcount is recorded on and off at each boarding point, and the movement log behind your monthly invoice shows date, shift, vehicle, route and numbers carried — which is what HSE and HR usually need after the fact.
Routine accommodation-to-plant routes run to eighty kilometres each way, and longer is quoted with a journey plan covering roads, rest arrangements and driving-hour limits. Distance affects the price but not the standard.
Ten to fourteen days from agreement in most cases, which allows for inductions, gate passes, vehicle stickering and a dry run of the first shift change. Urgent cover can move faster where vehicles and cleared drivers are available.
Send the rotation, the headcount and where your workers are picked up from. A costed proposal with vehicles, boarding sequence and a fixed monthly figure comes back within one working day.
