East Midlands

C+E drivers for Sutton-in-Ashfield routes

Trunk routes, container work and distribution, covered by one desk.

Night trunking between DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1 and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the East Midlands. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

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.

Artic traffic across the East Midlands uses the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.

Class 1 planning

Planning Class 1 cover

Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.

Trunk legs from Sutton-in-Ashfield 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:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Checked before the first run

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

For Sutton-in-Ashfield runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
