Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Maltby

Articulated cover for Maltby and Yorkshire & the Humber: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

Yorkshire

Keeping Maltby trunk routes running

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

Night trunking between the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across Yorkshire. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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

Class 1 demand across Yorkshire follows retail and online fulfilment operations, regional 3PLs, manufacturing distribution and Humber port logistics, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Work we staff

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We match the driver

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

We stay on the booking

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

Trunk legs from Maltby can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

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.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.

Class 1 FAQs

Your Class 1 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.

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.

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.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
