Keep tractor units moving across Cumbria with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
Trailer work out of the Barrow-in-Furness shipyard and marine supply estates rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.
Artic traffic across Cumbria uses the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.
From trunk routes to yard work.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.
Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.
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.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
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 North West. Tell us where the unit is based.
