Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Crediton

Rigid-lorry cover for Crediton and the South West: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Devon & Cornwall

Rigid drivers for Crediton operators

Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.

Much of the Class 2 work across Devon & Cornwall supplies chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.

Stores and sites supplied from Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

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:

  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

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