Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Hawick

Class 1 driver recruitment for Hawick — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

Hawick Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

Class 1 work across southern Scotland leans on the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Busy months across southern Scotland often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

From the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

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 trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
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.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.

Class 1 FAQs

Before you book

Can you supply temporary Class 1 drivers in Hawick?

Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work across southern Scotland. Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 1 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
