Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Northampton

Rigid-lorry cover for Northampton and the East Midlands: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Northamptonshire

Rigid drivers for Northampton operators

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

From DIRFT (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal), Brackmills, Swan Valley and nearby Magna Park, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.

Rigids across Northamptonshire rely on the M1, A14 and A45, with East Midlands Airport and DIRFT's rail freight terminal close by to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

You confirm who is coming

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

Cover can be extended

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

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.

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
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

After the licence, the next question is recent rigid work: body types, drop counts and the sites the driver knows.
