Class 1 driver recruitment for Lambeth — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.
Class 1 work across London & the South East leans on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.
Hauliers and 3PLs across London & the South East book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.
Operators with units based across Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.
Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
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.
Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.
For a Class 1 request, include:
For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
