HGV Class 2 recruitment for Kendal

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

Operators across the M6 corridor at Carlisle and Penrith run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.

Class 2 cover across Cumbria is mostly about supporting food and drink and dairy processing, nuclear and marine supply chains, forestry and timber and regional hauliers through holidays and busy weeks.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

Across Cumbria, rigid work swings with construction activity, retail peaks and the weather. Temporary drivers let the fleet flex without changing the payroll.

Many Class 2 rounds from Kendal run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

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.

Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.

Round to cover?

Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
