Need a Class 1 driver in St Austell? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
Across Devon & Cornwall the road network is built for artics: the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.
If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.
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.
Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.
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:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
Share the dates and the pattern. We will be straight about what we can cover.
