Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Blackpool

Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Blackpool, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.

North West

Keeping Blackpool trunk routes running

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

Across the North West the road network is built for artics: the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

For Blackpool operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Tractor units working from Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Work we staff

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

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.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

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.

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

Holiday gap on the rota?

Class 1 FAQs

Your Class 1 questions

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.

Can you cover night trunking?

Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

Can you cover weekend and bank holiday work?

Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
