Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Runcorn.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal on trunk routes via the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.
Hauliers serving grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
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.
Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.
For a Class 1 request, include:
For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
