Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Buckingham

Class 1 driver recruitment for Buckingham — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

South East

Buckingham Class 1 cover, on your terms

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Trailer work out of the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Hauliers serving retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

The driver is briefed

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

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

Across the South East, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Class 1 FAQs

Before you book

Can you supply temporary Class 1 drivers in Buckingham?

Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work across the South East. Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.

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.

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
