Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Glastonbury

Need a Class 1 driver in Glastonbury? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

South West

C+E drivers for Glastonbury routes

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

From Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the South West book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Class 1 demand across the South West follows food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Trunking, tramping and container work

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

From request to first shift

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 match the driver

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

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Checked before the first run

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

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

Night trunk to cover?

Class 1 FAQs

Class 1 questions

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

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.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 1 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
