Temporary Class 1 drivers in Leicester

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

A lot of articulated freight leaves Magna Park at Lutterworth, the M1/M69 parks and the East Midlands distribution corridor on trunk routes via the M1, M69 and A6, East Midlands Airport and nearby rail freight terminals. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

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 Leicestershire follows national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

What happens after you ask

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

Operators near Leicester run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.

Book temporary C+E cover
