Cleethorpes rigid cover, when you need it

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

Merchant and construction drops around Cleethorpes mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.

Class 2 cover across the East Midlands is mostly about supporting national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations through holidays and busy weeks.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the round

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

We check the licence

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

Rigid work is about the drop as much as the drive. Reversing onto a busy site, operating a tail-lift and getting a signature all shape how long a round takes.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • 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

Category C covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg. We check that entitlement on the licence, review endorsements and confirm the Driver CPC card is in date.

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

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 multi-drop rigid rounds?

Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.

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.

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

Can you cover Saturday rounds?

Yes. Saturday and bank holiday rounds can be booked in the same way as weekday cover.
