Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Stockport

Articulated cover for Stockport and the North West: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

North West

Keeping Stockport trunk routes running

Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.

Trailer work out of Trafford Park — one of Europe's largest industrial estates — Omega Warrington and the Port of Liverpool rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

Hauliers serving port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

HGV Class 1 / C+E

Work we staff

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

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.

Trunk legs from Stockport can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

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

Your Class 1 questions

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you cover sites near Stockport?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the North West. Tell us where the unit is based.

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.

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.
