Milngavie rigid cover, when you need it

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

Much of the Class 2 work across Scotland supplies grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.

Rigids across Scotland rely on the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

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

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:

  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
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.

Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.

Class 2 FAQs

Before you book

What licence does a Class 2 driver need?

Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover tipper work?

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