Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Grantham

Rigid-lorry cover for Grantham and the East Midlands: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

East Midlands

Rigid drivers for Grantham operators

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

Much of the Class 2 work across the East Midlands supplies national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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

Depots across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.

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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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

Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
