When an artic seat is empty in Deal, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
Across the South East the road network is built for artics: the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Deal keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the South East. Tell us where the unit is based.
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.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
