When a rigid is parked up in Rushden for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.
Across the East Midlands, rigid rounds start from sites such as Magna Park, DIRFT and the East Midlands Gateway beside East Midlands Airport. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.
Class 2 cover across the East Midlands is mostly about supporting national distribution centres, 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and rail-connected freight operations through holidays and busy weeks.
From store deliveries to site drops.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Rushden keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.
Many Class 2 rounds from Rushden run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.
For a Class 2 request, include:
No Class 2 driver is confirmed until the licence shows category C, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.
We ask Category C drivers which rounds and bodies they have worked, then match on that rather than on the licence category by itself.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Yes. We book Class 2 drivers for depots and sites across the East Midlands. Tell us where the vehicle is based.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.
