Temporary Class 1 drivers in Oswestry

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

Night trunking between the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the West Midlands. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.

Much of the Class 1 work across the West Midlands depends on the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.

How it works

What happens after you ask

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

What we ask about the run

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Operators near Oswestry 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:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

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