South East

Temporary Class 1 drivers in Dartford

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

Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the South East book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Operators with units based across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.

Class 1 work we can cover

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

What happens after you ask

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

The driver is briefed

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

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

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

Operators near Dartford run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
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.
