Tractor-unit cover for Duns

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Class 1 work across southern Scotland leans on the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

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

Class 1 demand across southern Scotland follows cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Duns keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

Operators near Duns run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed

The checks behind every booking

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.

Night trunk to cover?

Cover the trunk

How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
