East Midlands

Rigid-lorry cover for Oakham

Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.

Operators across the M1 and A14 corridors and the East Midlands Airport freight hub run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.

Category C work across the East Midlands serves big-shed national DCs, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and air and rail freight operations, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.

How it works

Our booking process

We check the licence

Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

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

Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

No Class 2 driver is confirmed until the licence shows category C, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

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