Class 1 driver recruitment for Ivybridge — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Operators across Devon & Cornwall run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
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.
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.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
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:
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.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
