Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in New Milton

When an artic seat is empty in New Milton, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.

South East

C+E drivers for New Milton routes

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

Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Busy months across the South East often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Tractor units working from the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

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

Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • 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
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Checked before the first run

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.

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.
