Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Salisbury

Rigid-lorry cover for Salisbury and the South West: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

South West

Rigid drivers for Salisbury operators

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

Class 2 drivers across the South West work with grocery and retail distribution, port and import logistics, aerospace supply chains and national 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

For Salisbury operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.

Rigid rounds from the M4 and M5 junction parks around Bristol and Gloucester deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across the South West.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

We check the licence

Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

The driver is briefed

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

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

A single missed day can be covered. So can a month. The request looks the same either way.

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
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many days or weeks of cover
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

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.

Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
