When an artic seat is empty in Harwich, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks on trunk routes via the A14, M11, A1(M) and A12, the Port of Felixstowe and London Stansted Airport. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.
Class 1 demand across the East of England follows port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Harwich keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
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.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
Give us the unit, the run and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
