Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Lincoln

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Lincoln.

East Midlands

Artic drivers for Lincoln operators

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Across the East Midlands the road network is built for artics: the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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 the East Midlands follows national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Lincoln keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

For Lincoln runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
