Need a Class 1 driver in Launceston? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
Across Devon & Cornwall the road network is built for artics: the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Class 1 demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
From trunk routes to yard work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
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:
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.
Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
