Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Middlesbrough

Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Middlesbrough, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.

Tees Valley

Keeping Middlesbrough trunk routes running

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

Class 1 work across the Tees Valley leans on the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Hauliers serving chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Work we staff

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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.

Planned cover in advance

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Middlesbrough keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

Trunk legs from Middlesbrough 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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
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.

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

Unit without a driver?

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.

Class 1 FAQs

Your Class 1 questions

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.

Do you cover sites near Middlesbrough?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the North East. Tell us where the unit is based.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 1 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
