Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Motherwell

Articulated cover for Motherwell and Scotland: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

Scotland

Keeping Motherwell trunk routes running

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

Operators across Scotland run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

From the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

Work we staff

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Planned cover in advance

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

What to include in a Class 1 request

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

Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

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.

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.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 1 drivers?
