Rigid-lorry cover for Darlington and the North East: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.
The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.
Operators across the Teesport container terminal and the Hartlepool and Billingham industrial areas run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.
Seasonal peaks across the Tees Valley often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Depots across the Tees Valley are served by the A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
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.
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:
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.
Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
