Class 1 driver recruitment for Sutton — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
Operators across London & the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
Hauliers serving urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
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.
A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.
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:
We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.
A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
