When a rigid is parked up in Cheltenham for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.
From the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
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.
Where temporary Category C drivers help most.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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.
Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.
For a Class 2 request, include:
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.
Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.
Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
