Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Bath

Need a Class 2 driver in Bath? Tell us the vehicle, the drops and the start time.

South West

Rigid-lorry cover for Bath

Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.

Merchant and construction drops around Bath mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

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

Depots across the South West are served by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Bath operates a class C Clean Air Zone, which charges HGVs that fall short of the emission standard — rigids included. We check the vehicle before city-centre rounds are booked.

What Class 2 drivers do here

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

Our booking process

We match the driver

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

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 Bath run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.

Class 2 FAQs

The detail

What licence does a Class 2 driver need?

Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.

Can you cover early starts?

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

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.

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.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
