Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Totton

C+E drivers for Totton operators — nights, days and nights out, checked before they take the keys.

South East

Temporary Class 1 drivers in Totton

The right licence is the minimum; the right experience is the brief.

Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

If the work involves nights out, say so up front. Tramping suits some drivers and not others. Matching the right one first time saves everyone a wasted shift.

Operators with units based across the M25 and M3 corridors, the south-coast ports and the distribution parks around Gatwick often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.

Class 1 work we can cover

Where temporary C+E drivers make the biggest difference.

How it works

What happens after you ask

We check the paperwork

Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the unit, the first job and who to report to — before the driver arrives.

Urgent cover handled fast

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

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

Class 1 work is where gaps hurt most: a missed trunk can delay every drop that depends on it the next morning. Booking cover early protects the whole chain.

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:

  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Every Class 1 driver we confirm holds category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.
