Rigid drivers for Bristol

Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Bristol

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

South West

Category C drivers for Bristol rounds

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

Operators across Avonmouth and Severnside, Western Approach and the M5 corridor run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.

Category C work across the South West serves port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

Bristol operates a class D 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.

How it works

From request to first round

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

Cover can be extended

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

Short-notice requests

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

Rigid planning

Planning rigid cover

Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.

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:

  • 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
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
Compliance

Checked before the first drop

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.

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.

Class 2 FAQs

Class 2 questions

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 Bristol?

Yes. We book Class 2 drivers for depots and sites across the South 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.

Can you cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
