Class 2 driver recruitment for Chester-le-Street — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.
Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.
Much of the Class 2 work across the North East supplies automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.
Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.
Stores and sites supplied from the Port of Tyne and the Nissan and Washington supply-chain parks rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.
Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Chester-le-Street keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.
