Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Paddington.
Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.
Across London & the South East, rigid rounds start from sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
For Paddington operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.
Rigids across London & the South East rely on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.
Rigids over 12 tonnes need a valid HGV safety permit to operate in Greater London. Every lorry over 3.5 tonnes also falls under the Low Emission Zone, so the vehicle is checked first.
Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.
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:
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.
On Paddington rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
