Keep eighteen- and twenty-six-tonne rigids working across West Yorkshire with temporary Category C drivers.

West Yorkshire

HGV Class 2 recruitment for Leeds

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

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

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

Class 2 cover across West Yorkshire is mostly about supporting retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics through holidays and busy weeks.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

The rigid runs we cover

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

How we match the driver

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

Planning rigid cover

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

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:

  • 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

Paperwork that decides it

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with category C entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.

A Class 2 driver who handles a tail-lift safely, reverses with care and deals politely with the customer is worth more than one who only drives well.

Round to cover?

Cover the round

How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.

Can you cover multi-drop rigid rounds?

Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
