South East

HGV Class 1 recruitment for Aldershot

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

Night trunking between the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South East. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

Much of the Class 1 work across the South East depends on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Across the South East, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out

Paperwork that decides it

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
