Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Oban

Highlands & Islands

C+E drivers for Oban routes

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

From the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

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

Class 1 demand across the Highlands & Islands follows distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Trunking, tramping and container work

Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.

How it works

From request to first shift

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 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.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • 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

Checked before the first run

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.

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

Class 1 FAQs

Class 1 questions

What does a Class 1 driver need to hold?

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.

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 1 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.

Can you cover weekend and bank holiday work?

Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
