Hamilton rigid cover, when you need it

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

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.

Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.

Rigid rounds from Eurocentral — one of the UK's largest rail-connected freight parks — Bellshill and the M8 distribution belt deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across Scotland.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

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
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • How many days or weeks of cover
Compliance

Verified every time

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.
