Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Rugby

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Rugby.

West Midlands

Rugby Class 1 cover, on your terms

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

Operators across the West Midlands run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

From Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Class 1 shifts we fill

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

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

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

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

Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.

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

Verified every time

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.

Class 1 FAQs

Before you book

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.

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.
