Class 1 driver recruitment for Bristol — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
From Avonmouth and Severnside, Western Approach and the M5 corridor, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M5, M4 and M32, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
Busy months across the South West often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Hauliers serving port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Bristol runs a class D 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.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.
Operators near Bristol run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.
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.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
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.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the South West. Tell us where the unit is based.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
