C+E drivers for Salcombe operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
Trailer work out of Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
Much of the Class 1 work across Devon & Cornwall depends on the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth, where a late start can cost a delivery slot at the other end of the country.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
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.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.
Operators near Salcombe 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:
No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
