Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Wombwell

Class 1 driver recruitment for Wombwell — single nights, weeks of cover and ongoing trunk assignments.

Yorkshire

Artic drivers for Wombwell operators

Class 1 cover starts with the trailer and the route, then the driver.

Operators across Yorkshire run curtainsiders, boxes and fridges along the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. The trailer type is the first thing we ask about.

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.

Tractor units working from the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports run trunk and haulage legs across the country as well as local shunts.

Class 1 planning

Setting up artic cover

Planned Class 1 cover for holidays, training and known peaks can be booked weeks ahead, so your planners are not searching on the day.

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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • The start time and the first run
  • Parking and facilities for nights out
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

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