Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Dover

Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Dover.

South East

Class 2 cover for Dover

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

From the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

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

Depots across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

How it works

How a Class 2 booking works

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.

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

Class 2 rounds are built around customer promises: store slots, site deliveries and trade counters that open at a set time. Cover protects those promises.

Builders' merchant and construction deliveries often mean rough ground, restricted access and unloading by crane. Drivers we put forward for them have worked on sites before.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

What every Class 2 driver holds

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

A Class 2 driver who handles a tail-lift safely, reverses with care and deals politely with the customer is worth more than one who only drives well.
