Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Greenock

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

Scotland

Keeping Greenock delivery rounds running

Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.

Class 2 drivers across Scotland work with retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

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

Depots across Scotland are served by the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Rounds we staff

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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

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.

Store deliveries across Scotland follow a tight routine at the back door: booking-in, unloading and returns. A driver who knows the routine keeps the store on schedule.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Before the first drop

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.

Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.

Class 2 FAQs

Your Class 2 questions

What licence does a Class 2 driver need?

Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.

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 cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.

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.

Can you cover Saturday rounds?

Yes. Saturday and bank holiday rounds can be booked in the same way as weekday cover.
