Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Farnworth

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

North West

Farnworth Class 1 cover, on your terms

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

Night trunking between Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the North West. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Class 1 demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

We stay on the booking

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

What to include in a Class 1 request

Across the North West, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Verified every time

The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.

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.
