Articulated cover for Renfrew and Scotland: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

Class 1 cover for Renfrew

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

Across Scotland the road network is built for artics: the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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 Scotland follows retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

The artic work we cover

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.

Planned cover in advance

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

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
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.

For Renfrew runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.

Holiday gap on the rota?

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.

Class 1 FAQs

Class 1 drivers in Renfrew — FAQs

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 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.

Can you cover weekend and bank holiday work?

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

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.

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.
