Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Keynsham

Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Keynsham.

South West

Class 2 cover for Keynsham

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

Operators across the Avonmouth and Severnside parks, the M4/M5 junction and the distribution sites along the M5 run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.

Rigids across the South West rely on the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

The rigid work we cover

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

How a Class 2 booking works

You send the round

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

We check the licence

Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

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:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

What every Class 2 driver holds

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.
