Class 1 driver recruitment for Kirkby-in-Ashfield — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Operators across the East Midlands run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
For Kirkby-in-Ashfield operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Operators with units based across the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Across the East Midlands, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.
Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.
For a Class 1 request, include:
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.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
Send the trailer type, the route and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 1 drivers.
