Highlands & Islands

Lochgilphead rigid cover, when you need it

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

Much of the Class 2 work across the Highlands & Islands supplies distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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

Stores and sites supplied from Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Class 2 shifts we fill

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the round

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

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

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

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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

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:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Verified every time

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

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