Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Axminster.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Trailer work out of the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.
Class 1 demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Axminster keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.
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.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
