Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Basildon

C+E drivers for Basildon operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.

East of England

Tractor-unit cover for Basildon

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

Class 1 work across the East of England leans on the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

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

Hauliers serving container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 cover

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Basildon keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

Operators near Basildon 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:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • 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.

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