Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Hexham

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

North East

Artic drivers for Hexham operators

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

Operators across the North East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

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

Tractor units working from the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

How it works

Urgent cover handled fast

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Hexham keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

Operators near Hexham run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.
