Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Looe

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

Devon & Cornwall

Looe Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

Operators across Devon & Cornwall run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Busy months across Devon & Cornwall often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Hauliers serving food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

We match the driver

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

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

Across Devon & Cornwall, 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.

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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
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.

C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
