Rigid-lorry cover for Richmond upon Thames and London & the South East: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.
The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.
From Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.
Seasonal peaks across London & the South East often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Depots across London & the South East are served by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
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.

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.
