Penarth rigid cover, when you need it

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

Much of the Class 2 work across Wales supplies port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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

Stores and sites supplied from the South Wales M4 distribution belt, the ABP ports and the Deeside Industrial Park rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

We match the driver

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

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

Class 2 rounds are built around customer promises: store slots, site deliveries and trade counters that open at a set time. Cover protects those promises.

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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.

Short of rigid drivers?

Before you book

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.

Do you cover depots near Penarth?

Yes. We book Class 2 drivers for depots and sites across Wales. Tell us where the vehicle is based.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
