Need a Class 1 driver in Newhaven? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Night trunking between the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South East. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.
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.
Artic traffic across the South East uses the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.
Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.
For a Class 1 request, include:
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.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
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.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
