Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Stratford-upon-Avon.
Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.
Across the West Midlands the road network is built for artics: the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. 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.
Operators with units based across Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.
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:
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.
For Stratford-upon-Avon runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
