South East

Rigid-lorry cover for Hastings

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

Operators across the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Seasonal peaks across the South East often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Category C work across the South East serves grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

What Class 2 drivers do here

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

Our booking process

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

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

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

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.

On Hastings rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.

Class 2 FAQs

The detail

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.

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

Can you cover early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

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.
