Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Epping

Class 1 driver recruitment for Epping — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

East of England

Artic drivers for Epping operators

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

From the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

Hauliers serving container and port logistics, freight forwarders and customs operations, agri-food supply chains and retail distribution need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

We stay on the booking

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

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
