Articulated cover for Whitburn and Scotland: Class 1 drivers booked around your trailers, your routes and your start times.

Class 1 cover for Whitburn

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

A lot of articulated freight leaves the M74 and M9 corridors and the Clyde and Forth port estates on trunk routes via the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. That is the work our temporary C+E drivers cover.

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.

Hauliers serving retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

We match the driver

We look for C+E drivers who have run similar work and want that shift pattern.

The driver is briefed

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

Planned cover in advance

Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.

Class 1 planning

What to include in a Class 1 request

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.

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:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the first run
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys

What every Class 1 driver holds

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.

A Class 1 driver who knows coupling checks, load security and the daily walkaround check protects your unit and your operator's licence record.
