Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Blyth

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

North East

Keeping Blyth trunk routes running

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

Night trunking between the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the North East. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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 automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Work we staff

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We check the paperwork

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

You confirm the booking

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

The driver is briefed

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
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.

For Blyth runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.

Short of artic drivers?

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
