Keep eighteen- and twenty-six-tonne rigids working across southern Scotland with temporary Category C drivers.
Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.
Across southern Scotland, rigid rounds start from sites such as the Borders towns along the A7 and A68 and the A1 coastal corridor. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Category C work across southern Scotland serves Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.
Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.
Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.
For a Class 2 request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with category C entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
We ask Category C drivers which rounds and bodies they have worked, then match on that rather than on the licence category by itself.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
