Class 1 cover for Hammersmith

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

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 Hammersmith operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Tractor units working from the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

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

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.

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

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.

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