Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Hackney.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Class 1 work across London & the South East leans on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.
For Hackney operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Hauliers serving urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
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.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.
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:
The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
Tell us about the Class 1 work in Hackney and we will come back with the drivers we can confirm.
