When an artic seat is empty in Telford, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.
Class 1 work across the West Midlands leans on the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Drivers we book know how those roads run at night as well as in the day.
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 West Midlands follows automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.
From trunk routes to yard work.
We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.
Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Chilled and frozen work adds temperature checks and fridge-unit monitoring to the job. Say so in the brief and we look for drivers who have run reefers.
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
Give us the unit, the run and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start together or in stages.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 1 drivers onto your payroll when you want a seat filled for good.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
