Keep eighteen- and twenty-six-tonne rigids working across the East Midlands with temporary Category C drivers.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
From DIRFT, Magna Park and the SEGRO and Prologis parks along the M1, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.
If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.
Class 2 cover across the East Midlands is mostly about supporting big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations through holidays and busy weeks.
Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.
Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.
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.
Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
