Class 1 cover for Newport (Shropshire)

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

Night trunking between Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the West Midlands. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

For Newport (Shropshire) operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Class 1 demand across the West Midlands follows automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Operators near Newport (Shropshire) run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
