HGV Class 1 recruitment for Greenwich

Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.

From London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

Hauliers and 3PLs across London & the South East 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 London & the South East follows last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 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.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

The runs we cover

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

How we match the driver

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.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Across London & the South East, 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.

Operators near Greenwich run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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