Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Lancaster.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
Operators across the North West run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.
Class 1 demand across the North West follows port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
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.
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.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Lancaster keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
