Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Newhaven

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

South East

Keeping Newhaven delivery rounds running

Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.

Much of the Class 2 work across the South East supplies Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.

Rigid rounds from the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across the South East.

Rounds we staff

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

The driver is briefed

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

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

Across the South East, 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:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Before the first drop

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

On Newhaven rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
