Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Eastbourne

Keep tractor units moving across the South East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.

South East

Tractor-unit cover for Eastbourne

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

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.

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 retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

Operators near Eastbourne 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
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

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.

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