Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Mansfield

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

East Midlands

Artic drivers for Mansfield operators

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Class 1 work across the East Midlands leans on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the East Midlands book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Tractor units working from the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

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.

The driver is briefed

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

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

Trunk legs from Mansfield 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 start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
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.

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