Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Barnsley

Rigid-lorry cover for Barnsley and Yorkshire & the Humber: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Yorkshire

Rigid drivers for Barnsley operators

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

Operators across iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1 run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Seasonal peaks across Yorkshire often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Depots across Yorkshire are served by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Barnsley keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

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.
