Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Dundee

Articulated cover for Dundee and Scotland: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

Tayside & Fife

Keeping Dundee trunk routes running

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

Trailer work out of the Port of Dundee and the Dundee and Perth industrial estates rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Class 1 demand across Tayside & Fife follows food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Dundee city centre is one of Scotland's four Low Emission Zones, so the vehicle's emission standard matters for any city-centre drops.

Work we staff

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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 check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

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

Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

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.

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