Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Aberystwyth

Need a Class 1 driver in Aberystwyth? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

West Wales

C+E drivers for Aberystwyth routes

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

Night trunking between the A40 corridor and the Carmarthen and Haverfordwest distribution points and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across West Wales. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Much of the Class 1 work across West Wales depends on the A40, the A487, the A48 and the ports at Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Fishguard, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Trunking, tramping and container work

Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.

How it works

From request to first shift

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

Trunk legs from Aberystwyth can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Checked before the first run

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
