Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Ellon

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

North East Scotland

Class 2 cover for Ellon

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

Store deliveries out of the Altens and East Tullos estates and the A96 corridor towards Elgin often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across North East Scotland book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Depots across North East Scotland are served by the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

The rigid work we cover

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

How a Class 2 booking works

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.

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
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.

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

Class 2 FAQs

Class 2 drivers in Ellon — FAQs

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
