Humber & East Yorkshire

Driffield Class 1 cover, on your terms

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

Across the Humber & East Yorkshire the road network is built for artics: the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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

From Goole and the M62 eastern corridor distribution parks, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

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

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

The driver is briefed

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Across the Humber & East Yorkshire, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
