Rigid drivers for Sandwich

Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Sandwich

When a rigid is parked up in Sandwich for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.

South East

Temporary Class 2 drivers in Sandwich

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

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

Seasonal peaks across the South East often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Stores and sites supplied from the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

Rigid planning

What we ask about the round

A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Sandwich keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.

Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

The compliance we confirm

Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

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.

Round to cover?

How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
