Temporary Class 2 ยท Ellesmere Port

Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Ellesmere Port

Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Ellesmere Port, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

North West

Ellesmere Port rigid cover, when you need it

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

Across the North West, rigid rounds start from sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.

If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.

Depots across the North West are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the round

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

We match the driver

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

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

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.

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:

  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

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