Temporary HGV Class 1 Drivers in Worcester

When an artic seat is empty in Worcester, we source a Class 1 driver who has run that kind of work before.

West Midlands

HGV Class 1 recruitment for Worcester

Artic work is only as good as the driver who turns up on time for it.

Across the West Midlands the road network is built for artics: the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections. Temporary Class 1 cover keeps those units earning when a regular driver is off.

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.

Operators with units based across Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 often need cover at short notice when a trunk driver is off.

Artic work where temporary C+E cover fits.

How it works

How we match the driver

We match the driver

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

We check the paperwork

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

Planned cover in advance

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

Class 1 planning

The details a Class 1 match needs

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.

Retail distribution for supermarkets and big-box stores carries its own rules on delivery slots, paperwork and yard safety. We brief drivers on the site's rules before they arrive.

For a Class 1 request, include:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • The trailer type: curtainsider, box, fridge, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether the work is trunking, container or general haulage
  • Parking and facilities for nights out

Paperwork that decides it

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with C+E entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

Nights and tramping suit some drivers and not others. We confirm the driver wants the pattern before they are put forward.

Night trunk to cover?

Book temporary C+E cover

How many nights, which trailer and where the unit is based — that is enough to start.
