Keep tractor units moving across the Humber & East Yorkshire with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
From the Humber renewables cluster and the East Riding industrial estates, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
Busy months across the Humber & East Yorkshire often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Class 1 demand across the Humber & East Yorkshire follows container and ro-ro operators, energy and bulk logistics, chilled food distribution and regional hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
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.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
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:
No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.
For Cottingham 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.
