Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Pudsey

Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Pudsey, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

Yorkshire

Pudsey rigid cover, when you need it

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

Class 2 drivers across Yorkshire work with retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

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

Stores and sites supplied from the M1 and A1(M) junction estates across South and West Yorkshire rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

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 check the licence

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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

Store deliveries across Yorkshire & the Humber 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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Verified every time

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

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

Class 2 FAQs

Before you book

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.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

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.
