Salcombe rigid cover, when you need it

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

Merchant and construction drops around Salcombe mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across Devon & Cornwall book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Depots across Devon & Cornwall are served by the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

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.

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

Merchants, wholesalers and store networks often need Category C cover for a set period: holidays, a busy season or a new customer. Temporary drivers fill that period and no more.

Builders' merchant and construction deliveries often mean rough ground, restricted access and unloading by crane. Drivers we put forward for them have worked on sites before.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

Verified every time

Category C covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg. We check that entitlement on the licence, review endorsements and confirm the Driver CPC card is in date.

On Salcombe rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.
