Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Bideford

Category C drivers for Bideford operators — local, regional and national rigid work, checked before the first drop.

Devon & Cornwall

Category C drivers for Bideford rounds

Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.

Store deliveries out of the A30 and A38 trunk corridors and the Exeter distribution parks often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.

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

Class 2 cover across Devon & Cornwall is mostly about supporting food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers through holidays and busy weeks.

Store, site and depot work

From store deliveries to site drops.

How it works

From request to first round

We check the licence

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

The driver is briefed

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

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

What we ask about the round

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Checked before the first drop

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with category C entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

We ask Category C drivers which rounds and bodies they have worked, then match on that rather than on the licence category by itself.
