Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Honiton, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
From the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Hauliers serving food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
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.
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:
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.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
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.
