Need a Class 1 driver in Felixstowe? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Port of Felixstowe, the A14 freight corridor and the Haven Gateway parks on trunk routes via the A14, A12 and the Felixstowe-to-Nuneaton rail freight route, plus the Port of Felixstowe. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
For Felixstowe operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Class 1 demand across Suffolk & the Haven ports follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
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.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Felixstowe keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.
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.
Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
