Keep tractor units moving across Hampshire & the Solent with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.
Trailer work out of the Port of Southampton, the M27 Solent parks and the Nursling and Eastleigh sites rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.
For Southampton operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.
Artic traffic across Hampshire & the Solent uses the M27, M3 and A34, Southampton Airport and the Port of Southampton, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.
From trunk routes to yard work.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
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.
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:
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, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
