Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Peterhead

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

North East Scotland

C+E drivers for Peterhead routes

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

From the A90 corridor, Dyce and the Bridge of Don industrial estates, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Class 1 demand across North East Scotland follows energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Trunking, tramping and container work

From trunk routes to yard work.

How it works

From request to first shift

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.

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

Across North East Scotland, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Trunk legs from Peterhead can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
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.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.

Class 1 FAQs

Class 1 questions

Can you cover night trunking?

Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.

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.

Can you cover container haulage?

Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.

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.

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
