North East

HGV Class 1 recruitment for Berwick-upon-Tweed

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

From Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

Busy months across the North East often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Class 1 demand across the North East follows automotive and component logistics, port and bulk operators, offshore and renewables supply chains and regional carriers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

The runs we cover

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

How we match the driver

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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

Night trunk to cover?

Cover the trunk

How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
