Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Harrow

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

London & the South East

Harrow Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

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.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Tractor units working from Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 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

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.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

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