Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Aberdeen

Rigid-lorry cover for Aberdeen and Scotland: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

North East Scotland

Rigid drivers for Aberdeen operators

Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.

Class 2 drivers across North East Scotland work with energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across North East Scotland book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Depots across the Altens and East Tullos estates and the A96 corridor towards Elgin run early rigid departures. The first drop sets the pace for the day.

Aberdeen city centre sits inside one of Scotland's four Low Emission Zones. City-centre rounds depend on the vehicle meeting the standard.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

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

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.

Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

A Class 2 driver who handles a tail-lift safely, reverses with care and deals politely with the customer is worth more than one who only drives well.

Class 2 FAQs

Good to know

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

Can you cover early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover Saturday rounds?

Yes. Saturday and bank holiday rounds can be booked in the same way as weekday cover.
