Keep tractor units moving across the South East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
From the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
For Basingstoke operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Class 1 demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.
For a Class 1 request, include:
Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.
