HGV Class 1 recruitment for Lockerbie

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Night trunking between the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across southern Scotland. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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.

Much of the Class 1 work across southern Scotland depends on the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

How it works

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

Planned cover in advance

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Across southern Scotland, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

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
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out

Paperwork that decides it

No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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

Class 1 FAQs

Common questions

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.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

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.

Do you cover sites near Lockerbie?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across Scotland. Tell us where the unit is based.
