Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Caerphilly

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

Wales

Artic drivers for Caerphilly operators

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

A lot of articulated freight leaves the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park on trunk routes via the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

For Caerphilly 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 manufacturing and automotive supply chains, port logistics, retail DCs and national 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

We match the driver

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

We stay on the booking

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

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
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.

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

Class 1 FAQs

Good to know

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

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.

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
