Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Alfreton

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Alfreton.

East Midlands

Alfreton Class 1 cover, on your terms

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Class 1 work across the East Midlands leans on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

For Alfreton operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Operators with units based across Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

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

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Verified every time

The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.

Class 1 FAQs

Before you book

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.

Can you cover night trunking?

Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you cover sites near Alfreton?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the East Midlands. Tell us where the unit is based.

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
