HGV Class 1 recruitment for Neath

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

Class 1 work across Wales leans on the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

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 Wales follows steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

How it works

How we match the driver

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

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.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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

Class 1 FAQs

Common questions

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.

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.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

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 Neath?

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