Class 1 cover for Wimbledon

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

Trailer work out of the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates rarely waits for a replacement to be found. Our job is to find one who can take the unit the same week.

For Wimbledon operators we cover single nights, full weeks and ongoing trunk assignments. Planned cover can be booked ahead; urgent cover is handled as it lands.

Hauliers serving urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs need drivers who can handle the trailer types those customers use.

Lorries over 3.5 tonnes in Greater London fall under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. Lorries over 12 tonnes also need a valid HGV safety permit, so we check your units before we book.

How it works

How a Class 1 booking works

We check the paperwork

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

We stay on the booking

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

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

Hauliers often need C+E cover for a defined period, such as a contract launch, a peak season or a driver's leave. Temporary drivers fit that window without a permanent hire.

Operators near Wimbledon 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:

  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

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.

Past the licence check, we look at recent artic work: trailer types, distances and whether the driver has done nights lately.
