Keep tractor units moving across the South East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
Busy months across the South East often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Operators with units based across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Broadstairs keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
