C+E drivers for Buxton operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Trailer work out of the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Much of the Class 1 work across the East Midlands depends on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.
From trunk routes to yard work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.
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.
For Buxton runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
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 port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the East Midlands. Tell us where the unit is based.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
