Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Ilkley

Rigid-lorry cover for Ilkley and Yorkshire & the Humber: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Yorkshire

Rigid drivers for Ilkley operators

Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.

Merchant and construction drops around Ilkley mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

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

Rigid rounds from the M62 logistics belt, iPort Doncaster and the Humber ports deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across Yorkshire.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

Cover can be extended

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

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.

Store deliveries across Yorkshire & the Humber follow a tight routine at the back door: booking-in, unloading and returns. A driver who knows the routine keeps the store on schedule.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
