Pontypool rigid cover, when you need it

Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.

Operators across the Bridgend and Llanelli manufacturing estates run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

Seasonal peaks across Wales often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Rigids across Wales rely on the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We check the licence

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

Store deliveries across Wales follow a tight routine at the back door: booking-in, unloading and returns. A driver who knows the routine keeps the store on schedule.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
Compliance

Verified every time

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
