Class 1 cover for Bootle

Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.

Night trunking between the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the North West. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the North West book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Class 1 demand across the North West follows grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

The artic work we cover

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

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.

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

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:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

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.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
