Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Ashington, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Trailer work out of the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
For Ashington operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Hauliers serving automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Ashington keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
