Keeping Castle Douglas delivery rounds running

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

Much of the Class 2 work across southern Scotland supplies cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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

Rigids across southern Scotland rely on the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Rounds we staff

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You send the round

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

We match the driver

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

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Castle Douglas keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.

Many Class 2 rounds from Castle Douglas run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
Compliance

Before the first drop

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

On Castle Douglas rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
