Class 1 driver recruitment for Leeds — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Across West Yorkshire the road network is built for artics: the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
Hauliers and 3PLs across West Yorkshire book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.
From the M62 / M1 corridor, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.
