Articulated cover for Kirkwall and Scotland: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Inverness and the A9 corridor distribution depots 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.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
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 cover across the main types of artic work.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
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.
Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.
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.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
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. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
