Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Middleton

Class 2 driver recruitment for Middleton — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.

North West

Keeping Middleton delivery rounds running

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

Across the North West, rigid rounds start from sites such as Trafford Park, Omega in Warrington, the Liverpool2 deep-water terminal and Airport City. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.

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

Depots across the North West are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Rounds we staff

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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.

The driver is briefed

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

Class 2 rounds are built around customer promises: store slots, site deliveries and trade counters that open at a set time. Cover protects those promises.

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

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Before the first drop

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.

Class 2 FAQs

Your Class 2 questions

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.

Can you cover early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

Can you cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.

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.
