Class 1 driver recruitment for Selkirk — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor on trunk routes via the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
Hauliers serving Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
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.
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.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
Send the trailer type, the route and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 1 drivers.
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.
