East Midlands

Tractor-unit cover for Arnold

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Night trunking between the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the East Midlands. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Much of the Class 1 work across the East Midlands depends on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Operators near Arnold run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

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.

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