HGV Class 1 recruitment for Horsham

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

A lot of articulated freight leaves the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel on trunk routes via the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Class 1 demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

How it works

How we match the driver

You send the brief

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.

Class 1 FAQs

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.

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.

How much notice do you need?

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
