C+E drivers for Chester-le-Street operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.
Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.
Trailer work out of the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks 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.
Artic traffic across the North East uses the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Across the North 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.
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:
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
