Need a Class 1 driver in Reading? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Night trunking between the M4 Thames Valley corridor, Theale and the Green Park and Worton Grange sites and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the Thames Valley. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.
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.
Much of the Class 1 work across the Thames Valley depends on the M4, M3 and A33, Heathrow Airport nearby and the Great Western Main Line, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
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.
Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.
Trunk legs from Reading 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:
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.
