Class 1 driver recruitment for Loughborough — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
From the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Hauliers serving big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.
For a Class 1 request, include:
The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.
For Loughborough runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
