Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Multi-drop work needs pace and care in equal measure; we brief for both.
Much of the Class 2 work across Tyne & Wear supplies automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 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.
Depots across Tyne & Wear are served by the A1(M), A19 and A69, Newcastle Airport and the Port of Tyne. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Tyneside (Newcastle and Gateshead) operates a class C Clean Air Zone, which charges HGVs that fall short of the emission standard — rigids included. We check the vehicle before city-centre rounds are booked.
Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
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:
The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.
