When an artic seat is empty in Teignmouth, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
From Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. We book Class 1 drivers who have run similar legs.
Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.
Class 1 demand across Devon & Cornwall follows chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
An artic without a driver is expensive to leave standing. Temporary Class 1 cover in Teignmouth keeps the unit and the trailer earning while a regular driver is away.
Class 1 shifts tend to fall into three shapes: nights trunking between hubs, days on general haulage and tramping with nights out. Each suits a different driver, so we ask which one you run.
For a Class 1 request, include:
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
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.
