Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Inverness

Class 1 driver recruitment for Inverness — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

Highlands & Islands

Inverness Class 1 cover, on your terms

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

A lot of articulated freight leaves the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals on trunk routes via the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

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

Hauliers serving whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

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.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

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

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.

Trunk legs from Inverness 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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Verified every time

For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
