Keep tractor units moving across the South East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Across the South East the road network is built for artics: the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
Hauliers and 3PLs across the South East book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.
Class 1 demand across the South East follows grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
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.
Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.
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.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
