Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Ambleside, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

Cumbria

Ambleside rigid cover, when you need it

Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.

Store deliveries out of the Kingmoor Park estates at Carlisle and the A69 corridor often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.

Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.

Rigids across Cumbria rely on the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Cover can be extended

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

Merchants, wholesalers and store networks often need Category C cover for a set period: holidays, a busy season or a new customer. Temporary drivers fill that period and no more.

Many Class 2 rounds from Ambleside run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.

Class 2 FAQs

Before you book

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.

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 depots near Ambleside?

Yes. We book Class 2 drivers for depots and sites across the North West. Tell us where the vehicle is based.

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.
