Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Class 1 driver recruitment for Newcastle-under-Lyme — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

West Midlands

Artic drivers for Newcastle-under-Lyme operators

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

Across the West Midlands the road network is built for artics: the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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

Tractor units working from the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

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.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

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

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
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

For Newcastle-under-Lyme runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
