Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Seaton

Keep tractor units moving across Devon & Cornwall with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.

Devon & Cornwall

Tractor-unit cover for Seaton

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

A lot of articulated freight leaves Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots on trunk routes via the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

Busy months across Devon & Cornwall often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Class 1 demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

What Class 1 drivers do here

Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.

How it works

Our booking process

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.

Planned cover in advance

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

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Seaton keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.

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:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys

The checks behind every booking

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.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
