Need a Class 1 driver in Newton Abbot? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Across Devon & Cornwall the road network is built for artics: the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
Tractor units working from Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.
From trunk routes to yard work.
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.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
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.

C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
