Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Daventry.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Operators across the East Midlands run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
Hauliers and 3PLs across the East Midlands book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.
From the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.
Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.

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.

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.
