C+E drivers for Stoke-on-Trent operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.
Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 on trunk routes via the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Hauliers and 3PLs across the West Midlands book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.
Class 1 demand across the West Midlands follows national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres, 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.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Across the West Midlands, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.
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:
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.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
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. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
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.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
