Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Fowey

Class 2 driver recruitment for Fowey — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.

Devon & Cornwall

Keeping Fowey delivery rounds running

Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.

Class 2 drivers across Devon & Cornwall work with chilled and ambient food distribution, marine services, aggregates and china clay logistics and independent hauliers. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

Seasonal peaks across Devon & Cornwall often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Rigids across Devon & Cornwall rely on the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We match the driver

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

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Short-notice requests

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

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.

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.

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
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Before the first drop

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.
