Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Liskeard

Class 1 driver recruitment for Liskeard — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

Devon & Cornwall

Liskeard Class 1 cover, on your terms

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

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.

Hauliers and 3PLs across Devon & Cornwall book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Tractor units working from the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.

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

Verified every time

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.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
