Articulated cover for Seaham and the North East: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
Operators across the North East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport. 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.
Hauliers serving automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
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.
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 drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.
Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
