Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Knottingley

Yorkshire

C+E drivers for Knottingley routes

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

Class 1 work across Yorkshire leans on the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

From the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

How it works

From request to first shift

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Trunk legs from Knottingley can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Checked before the first run

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.
