Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Lymington

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

South East

Artic drivers for Lymington operators

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

Night trunking between the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South East. 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.

Class 1 demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

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.

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

For Lymington runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
