Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Ludlow

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

West Midlands

Artic drivers for Ludlow operators

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

A lot of articulated freight leaves the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates on trunk routes via the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

Hauliers serving automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

You send the brief

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

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

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.

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:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

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