South East

Littlehampton Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

For Littlehampton operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Hauliers serving Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

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

Trunk legs from Littlehampton can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.

Class 1 FAQs

Before you book

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.

Can you cover night trunking?

Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you cover weekend and bank holiday work?

Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
