Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Peterborough

When an artic seat is empty in Peterborough, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.

Cambridgeshire

C+E drivers for Peterborough routes

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Night trunking between the A1(M) corridor parks, Fengate and the East of England distribution sites and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across Cambridgeshire. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Artic traffic across Cambridgeshire uses the A1(M), A14 and East Coast Main Line, with Stansted and the Port of Felixstowe within reach, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.

Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.

How it works

From request to first shift

We check the paperwork

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

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:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Checked before the first run

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

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.
