C+E drivers for Port Talbot routes

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

Night trunking between the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, plus the Deeside parks in the north and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across Wales. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Busy months across Wales often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Much of the Class 1 work across Wales depends on the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Across Wales, 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.

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:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Checked before the first run

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.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.

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.

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.

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