Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Reading, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
Much of the Class 2 work across the Thames Valley supplies retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.
Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.
Depots across the Thames Valley are served by the M4, M3 and A33, Heathrow Airport nearby and the Great Western Main Line. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Many Class 2 rounds from Reading run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

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