When an artic seat is empty in Edinburgh, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
Class 1 work across the Lothians leans on the M8, M9 and City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the Forth ports at Grangemouth and Rosyth. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Tractor units working from the M8 and M9 corridor parks, Newbridge and the Forth ports run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.
Edinburgh city centre is one of Scotland's four Low Emission Zones, so the vehicle's emission standard matters for any city-centre drops.
From trunk routes to yard work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.
Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.
For a Class 1 request, include:
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.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
Give us the unit, the run and the start time and we will do the rest.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across Scotland. Tell us where the unit is based.
Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
