Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Tamworth

Need a Class 1 driver in Tamworth? Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.

West Midlands

C+E drivers for Tamworth routes

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

Trailer work out of the M6 and M42 corridor parks and the Birmingham industrial estates rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.

Artic traffic across the West Midlands uses the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections, so we look for Class 1 drivers who are comfortable on those routes at any hour.

How it works

From request to first shift

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Across the West Midlands, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Trunk legs from Tamworth 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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Checked before the first run

No Class 1 driver is confirmed until the licence shows C+E, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
