Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in East Kilbride

When an artic seat is empty in East Kilbride, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.

HGV Class 1 recruitment for East Kilbride

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

Operators across Scotland run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.

Hauliers serving whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 cover

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

Operators near East Kilbride 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
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

For East Kilbride runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
