Class 2 driver recruitment for Derby — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.
Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.
Operators across the East Midlands Gateway, the A50 corridor and the Pride Park and Raynesway sites run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.
Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.
Depots across Derbyshire are served by the A38, A50 and M1, East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands Gateway rail freight terminal. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
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.
A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Derby keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.
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:
The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.
After the licence, the next question is recent rigid work: body types, drop counts and the sites the driver knows.
Send the vehicle, the drops and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 2 drivers.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
