When a rigid is parked up in Salford for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
Much of the Class 2 work across the North West supplies retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics. 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.
Rigid rounds from the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across the North West.
From store deliveries to site drops.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.
Store deliveries across the North West 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:
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.
A Class 2 driver who handles a tail-lift safely, reverses with care and deals politely with the customer is worth more than one who only drives well.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
