Class 1 driver recruitment for Stretford — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.
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.
Busy months across the North West often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Class 1 demand across the North West follows grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
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.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.
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.
Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work across the North West. Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

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