West Midlands

Artic drivers for Burton upon Trent operators

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

A lot of articulated freight leaves the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor on trunk routes via the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

For Burton upon Trent operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Hauliers serving automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

You send the brief

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

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

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.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
