Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Larkhall, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt on trunk routes via the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Busy months across Scotland often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Hauliers serving whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
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.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
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 Larkhall keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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:
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.
Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
Send the trailer type, the route and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 1 drivers.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
