Class 1 cover for Huddersfield

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

Night trunking between the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across Yorkshire. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.

Class 1 demand across Yorkshire follows retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.

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.
