Keep tractor units moving across the South West with temporary C+E drivers matched to the trailer and the route.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 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.
Container work carries its own rhythm: port slots, booking references and waiting time. Drivers we book for it know the routine.
Class 1 demand across the South West follows port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
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.
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:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
C+E drivers tell us which routes and trailers they know best. We match on that experience, not on the entitlement alone.
Give us the unit, the run and the start time and we will do the rest.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
