When a rigid is parked up in Harrow for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.
Across London & the South East, rigid rounds start from sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Category C work across London & the South East serves last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.
Rigids over 12 tonnes need a valid HGV safety permit to operate in Greater London. Every lorry over 3.5 tonnes also falls under the Low Emission Zone, so the vehicle is checked first.
Where temporary Category C drivers help most.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.
Many Class 2 rounds from Harrow run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.
For a Class 2 request, include:
Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.
On Harrow rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
