Rigid-lorry cover for Long Eaton and the East Midlands: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

East Midlands

Rigid drivers for Long Eaton operators

Multi-drop work needs pace and care in equal measure; we brief for both.

From the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across the East Midlands book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Depots across the East Midlands are served by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

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

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

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

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