Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Tewkesbury

Class 1 driver recruitment for Tewkesbury — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

South West

Tewkesbury Class 1 cover, on your terms

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Night trunking between Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country and the national hubs is typical Class 1 work across the South West. We match drivers who want night work, not just any shift.

Double-deck trailers, walking-floor units, tautliners or reefers — say what the driver will pull and we match someone who has pulled it.

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.

Class 1 shifts we fill

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the brief

Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.

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

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

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.
