Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Havering

Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Havering, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

London & the South East

Havering rigid cover, when you need it

Multi-drop work needs pace and care in equal measure; we brief for both.

Class 2 drivers across London & the South East work with last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

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

Stores and sites supplied from the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

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.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We check the licence

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

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:

  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

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