Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Redditch

Articulated cover for Redditch and the West Midlands: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

West Midlands

Class 1 cover for Redditch

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

From Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. 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.

Hauliers serving automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

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.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Operators near Redditch run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
