Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Crawley

When a rigid is parked up in Crawley for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.

Temporary Class 2 drivers in Crawley

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

Operators across the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across the South East book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Class 2 cover across the South East is mostly about supporting retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs through holidays and busy weeks.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Class 2 work we can cover

From store deliveries to site drops.

How it works

What happens after you ask

You send the round

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

The driver is briefed

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

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

Planning rigid cover

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.

Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

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

Class 2 FAQs

What licence does a Class 2 driver need?

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 early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.

Can you cover Saturday rounds?

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