Class 2 driver recruitment for Kelso — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.
Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.
Store deliveries out of the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M) often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.
For Kelso operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.
Depots across southern Scotland are served by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Across southern Scotland, rigid work swings with construction activity, retail peaks and the weather. Temporary drivers let the fleet flex without changing the payroll.
Rigid work is about the drop as much as the drive. Reversing onto a busy site, operating a tail-lift and getting a signature all shape how long a round takes.
For a Class 2 request, include:
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.
On Kelso rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
