Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Kirkintilloch.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Operators across Scotland run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
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 Scotland follows whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
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.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Kirkintilloch keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
