South East

Temporary Class 1 drivers in Dover

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Class 1 work across the South East leans on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Hauliers serving Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Class 1 work we can cover

From trunk routes to yard work.

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.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

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

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

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.

C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.

Night trunk to cover?

Tell us about the run

Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
