Why can't Spanish transport companies
find CE drivers?

Spain's transport sector (CNAE 4941) reports 30,000 unfilled CE driver vacancies and a 7.7% vacancy rate (IRU 2024). Generalist agencies average 4–6 weeks with no guarantee of compliant non-EU documentation. Every idle truck costs between €200–€400 per day. DriversHub maintains an active pool of verified CE drivers for placement in 3–4 weeks with full regulatory compliance handled.

DriversHub solves this.

We don't start searching when you call. We have drivers available now.

Key regulatory fact: Ukrainian drivers in Spain hold automatic work authorisation under Temporary Protection (Council Implementing Decision 2022/382/EU, transposed via Real Decreto-ley 6/2022). This protection is valid until 4 March 2027. No individual work permit required — the employer simply needs a standard employment contract. Spain has over 200,000 Ukrainian nationals registered, including a significant pool of professional CE drivers.

How do you hire non-EU CE drivers in Spain?

DriversHub operates as a registered Employment Agency (Agencia de Colocación, SEPE) and is in the process of obtaining ETT (Empresa de Trabajo Temporal) licence under Ley 14/1994. Three models: direct recruitment (driver on your payroll), staff-leasing ETT (we are the employer, you pay one monthly invoice), or standalone document management for drivers you already have in mind.

Direct Recruitment

Verified CE driver hired directly by your company. Placement in 3–4 weeks. DGT licence swap, CAP and full documentation included. Single fee on year-one salary.
