Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Stonehouse, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
A lot of articulated freight leaves Avonmouth and Severnside, the M5 corridor and the Western Approach parks on trunk routes via the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Busy months across the South West often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Hauliers serving port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
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.
Across the South West, 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:
The drivers' hours rules that apply depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your runs fall under.
Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
