Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Exeter

Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Exeter, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.

Devon & Cornwall

Class 1 cover for Exeter

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

Across Devon & Cornwall the road network is built for artics: the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Operators with units based across the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

Planned cover in advance

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

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Trunk legs from Exeter can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

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.

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