Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Redhill

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

South East

C+E drivers for Redhill routes

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

Class 1 work across the South East leans on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the South East book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Tractor units working from the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

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.

The driver is briefed

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

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

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
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • 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

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.

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.
