Temporary HGV Class 1 drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work out of Torpoint.
The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.
From the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell 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.
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.
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.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
Container work runs to port and terminal slots. A driver who understands booking references, weighbridges and waiting time copes with the routine far better.
For a Class 1 request, include:
For dangerous goods we also confirm the ADR classes held and their renewal date. The standard checks — C+E, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.
Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
