Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Barry, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
Class 2 drivers across Wales work with steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Stores and sites supplied from the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff, Newport and Swansea, plus the Deeside parks in the north rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.
Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.
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:
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.
One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
