Class 1 cover for Fulham

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Night trunking between Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across London & the South East. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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

Class 1 demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out

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.

For Fulham runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
