Temporary Class 2 · Chorley

Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Chorley

Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Chorley, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

North West

Chorley rigid cover, when you need it

Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.

Much of the Class 2 work across the North West supplies retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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

Depots across the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal run early rigid departures. The first drop sets the pace for the day.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

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.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

Across the North West, rigid work swings with construction activity, retail peaks and the weather. Temporary drivers let the fleet flex without changing the payroll.

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

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
