Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Formby, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Trailer work out of the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
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.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Formby 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.

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
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.
