South East

Tractor-unit cover for Newbury

Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.

From the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.

Class 1 demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

The details a Class 1 match needs

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Newbury 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 trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed

The checks behind every booking

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

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