Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Stafford

Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Stafford.

West Midlands

Artic drivers for Stafford operators

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Trailer work out of Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.

Hauliers serving automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Where Class 1 cover gets used

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a C+E driver

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

What to include in a Class 1 request

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.

Class 1 FAQs

Good to know

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.

Can you supply several Class 1 drivers at once?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.

Can you cover weekend and bank holiday work?

Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.

What trailer types can your drivers pull?

Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
