Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Wells

Articulated cover for Wells and the South West: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

South West

Keeping Wells trunk routes running

Temporary Class 1 drivers who have done this kind of run before.

Across the South West the road network is built for artics: the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

Hauliers and 3PLs across the South West book Class 1 cover for holiday gaps, sickness and new contracts. Tell us the pattern and the length of the booking.

Tractor units working from the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Work we staff

Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You send the brief

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

The driver is briefed

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

We stay on the booking

If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.

Class 1 planning

Before you book a C+E driver

A temporary C+E driver who has pulled your trailer type before needs less induction and settles into the route faster.

Operators near Wells run a mix of their own units and subcontracted work. Temporary Class 1 drivers slot into your operation under your planning and your procedures.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
Compliance

Before the keys change hands

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.

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