Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Newton Abbot

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

Devon & Cornwall

Keeping Newton Abbot delivery rounds running

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

Across Devon & Cornwall, rigid rounds start from sites such as Plymouth's port and the Devonport and Langage industrial estates. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.

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

Rigids across Devon & Cornwall rely on the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

We match the driver

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Newton Abbot keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.

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

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
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.

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