Keep tractor units moving across the North East with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Teesport (PD Ports), the Port of Tyne and the automotive and chemicals parks along the A19 on trunk routes via the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.
Class 1 demand across the North East follows automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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.
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:
No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work across the North East. Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
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.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
