Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in High Wycombe

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of High Wycombe.

South East

Artic drivers for High Wycombe operators

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Night trunking between the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South East. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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

Hauliers serving retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

What to include in a Class 1 request

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

Trunk legs from High Wycombe can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
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.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
