Class 1 driver recruitment for Leyland — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Trailer work out of Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
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.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
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 Leyland keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.
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.
Send the trailer type, the route and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 1 drivers.
