Class 1 driver recruitment for Bath — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks on trunk routes via the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
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.
Hauliers serving grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Bath runs a class C Clean Air Zone that charges HGVs that miss the emission standard, so we check how your units fit before we book a driver for city work.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.
Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.
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.
For Bath runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
