South East

Tractor-unit cover for Worthing

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

Across the South East the road network is built for artics: the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. 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.

Class 1 demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, which is why peak-season artic cover is worth booking early.

How it works

Our booking process

We match the driver

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

Planned cover in advance

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

Class 1 planning

What we ask about the run

Across the South East, Class 1 demand moves with the retail calendar and port schedules. Temporary drivers let you staff the extra runs only for as long as they last.

Trunk legs from Worthing 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:

  • Where the tractor unit is based
  • Day, night or tramping work
  • Double-deck, drawbar or walking-floor experience if needed
  • Who the driver reports to and where to collect the keys

The checks behind every booking

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.

Before accepting, the driver hears the whole brief: the unit, the trailer, the start time and any nights out.

Class 1 FAQs

The detail

Can you cover night trunking?

Yes. Tell us the start time and the legs. We match drivers who want night work and have run trunks before.

Do you supply drivers for tramping work?

Yes, where the driver wants nights out. Tell us how many nights and what the parking and facilities are like.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you cover sites near Worthing?

Yes. We book Class 1 drivers for sites across the South East. Tell us where the unit is based.

Do you supply drivers for chilled and frozen work?

Yes. Tell us it is reefer work so we match a Class 1 driver who has monitored a fridge unit and handled temperature paperwork.
