Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Heanor

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

East Midlands

Heanor Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

Class 1 work across the East Midlands leans on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

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

Hauliers serving national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Class 1 shifts we fill

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

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 trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.

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 cover sites near Heanor?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the East Midlands. Tell us where the unit is based.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

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.
