Class 2 driver recruitment for Newton Stewart — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
Class 2 drivers across southern Scotland work with cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.
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 the Cairnryan ferry terminals and the A75 Irish Sea freight route run early rigid departures. The first drop sets the pace for the day.
Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Merchants, wholesalers and store networks often need Category C cover for a set period: holidays, a busy season or a new customer. Temporary drivers fill that period and no more.
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 drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.
After the licence, the next question is recent rigid work: body types, drop counts and the sites the driver knows.
Send the vehicle, the drops and the start time. Our driving recruitment team will begin sourcing suitable Class 2 drivers.
