South East

Artic drivers for Andover operators

Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.

Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

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

From the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

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.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

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:

  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

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