Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Oldham

When a rigid is parked up in Oldham for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.

North West

Temporary Class 2 drivers in Oldham

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

From the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal, 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.

Category C work across the North West serves retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.

How it works

What happens after you ask

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

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

What we ask about the round

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

Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

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

Class 2 FAQs

Frequently asked

What licence does a Class 2 driver need?

Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

Can you cover early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
