Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Thornbury

Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Thornbury, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.

South West

Keeping Thornbury trunk routes running

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

From the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5, operators trunk to hubs and customers along the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. 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.

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

Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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.

Urgent cover handled fast

Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Trunk legs from Thornbury 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:

  • The start time and the first run
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

We check C+E entitlement on the licence itself, review endorsements, confirm Driver CPC currency and the card expiry and check the tachograph card before the first run.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.
