Keeping Milton Keynes trunk routes running

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

Operators across Buckinghamshire run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M1, A5 and A421, with East Midlands and Luton airports and the West Coast Main Line. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Class 1 demand across Buckinghamshire 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.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

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

Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • 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.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.

Holiday gap on the rota?

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