HGV Class 2 recruitment for Gloucester

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

Merchant and construction drops around Gloucester mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

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

Stores and sites supplied from the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

The rigid runs we cover

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

How we match the driver

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

Planning 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.

Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

No Class 2 driver is confirmed until the licence shows category C, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

After the licence, the next question is recent rigid work: body types, drop counts and the sites the driver knows.
