Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Burton upon Trent

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

Category C drivers for Burton upon Trent rounds

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

Store deliveries out of the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.

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 West Midlands serves automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

Store, site and depot work

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

From request to first round

We match the driver

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

We check the licence

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

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Rigid planning

Planning rigid cover

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.

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
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • 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.

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

Class 2 FAQs

Class 2 questions

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.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover tipper work?

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