Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Burgess Hill

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Burgess Hill.

South East

Artic drivers for Burgess Hill operators

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

Across the South East the road network is built for artics: the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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.

From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

You confirm the booking

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

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

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

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
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
