Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Harrogate.

Yorkshire

Artic drivers for Harrogate operators

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

Operators across Yorkshire run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Tractor units working from the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

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:

  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
