Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Merton.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
Across London & the South East the road network is built for artics: the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
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 urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.
Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.
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:
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.
Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
