Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Whitby, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.
Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.
Operators across the Humber & East Yorkshire run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M62, the A63, the A15 and the ports of Hull, Immingham and Goole. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.
Busy months across the Humber & East Yorkshire often mean one more night trunk than the rota can staff. A temporary Class 1 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Operators with units based across the Port of Hull and the A63 corridor estates often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.
Class 1 cover across the main types of artic work.
Trailer type, route profile, start time and how many nights. Two minutes on a form or a call is enough.
Holidays and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead so the rota is settled early.
Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Some Class 1 bookings are a single night. Others settle into a regular pattern that runs for months. Both begin with the same request.
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:
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.
Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
One request can cover a single night or a run of weeks.
Category C+E entitlement, a current Driver CPC — 35 hours of periodic training every five years — and a digital tachograph card, plus ADR for dangerous goods work.
