Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Coleford

C+E drivers for Coleford operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.

South West

Temporary Class 1 drivers in Coleford

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

From Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

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

Class 1 demand across the South West follows grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Class 1 work we can cover

Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.

How it works

What happens after you ask

We check the paperwork

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

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.

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.
