Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Wokingham

Night trunks, container runs and distribution work around Wokingham, covered by experienced Class 1 drivers.

South East

Keeping Wokingham trunk routes running

Nights, days or tramping — we match the driver to the pattern.

Operators across the South East run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

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

Class 1 demand across the South East follows Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

Work we staff

Artic work, matched to the driver who knows it.

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.

You confirm the booking

We tell you who is starting, when and where, so the transport office can plan around it.

We stay on the booking

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

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

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.

Trunk legs from Wokingham can be long, so drivers' hours planning matters. Tell us the timings and we brief the driver on how the day is expected to run.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • How many nights or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR classes the load requires
  • 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.

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.
