Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Taunton

Articulated cover for Taunton and the South West: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

South West

Class 1 cover for Taunton

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

Night trunking between the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South West. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the South West book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Hauliers serving port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Urgent cover handled fast

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

What every Class 1 driver holds

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.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.

One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
