Innerleithen Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

Across southern Scotland the road network is built for artics: the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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

From the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We check the paperwork

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

The driver is briefed

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Operators near Innerleithen 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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
