Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Tiverton.
Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.
A lot of articulated freight leaves the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates on trunk routes via the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.
Recruiting a permanent Class 1 driver as well? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the unit moving.
Hauliers serving food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.
Typical runs a temporary Class 1 driver covers.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
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.
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:
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.
For Tiverton runs, recent trunking or haulage experience counts for more than years held on the licence.
Tell us about the Class 1 work in Tiverton and we will come back with the drivers we can confirm.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Weekend trunks and bank holiday shifts can be booked like any other. Tell us the dates as early as you can.
Tell us the trailer (curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed, double-deck or tanker) and we match a driver who has worked with it.
