When an artic seat is empty in Weston-super-Mare, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.
Experienced C+E drivers, briefed on the job before they arrive.
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.
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.
From the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester, C+E work ranges from overnight trunks to day haulage and yard moves.
From trunk routes to yard work.
Licence, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the cover needs extending, you tell us and we plan the next shifts.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.
Weekend and bank holiday trunks are hard to staff from a permanent rota, which makes them a natural fit for temporary Class 1 cover.
For a Class 1 request, include:
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.
Reversing onto a busy bay, handling a double-deck trailer and working to a slot time are the skills that decide a Class 1 shift.
How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking, tramping, container and general haulage work across the South West. Tell us the trailer, the route and the start time.
Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.
Yes. Tell us the port or rail terminal, the booking pattern and the trailer type so we match a driver who knows the routine.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
