When an artic seat is empty in Peacehaven, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
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.
Class 1 demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
From trunk routes to yard work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Peacehaven keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
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.
For a Class 1 request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
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. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the South East. Tell us where the unit is based.
