South West

Rigid-lorry cover for Shepton Mallet

Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.

Class 2 drivers across the South West work with food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.

Stores and sites supplied from Avonmouth, Severnside and the M5 corridor running down to the West Country rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

What Class 2 drivers do here

Where temporary Category C drivers help most.

How it works

Our booking process

You confirm who is coming

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

Cover can be extended

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

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

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

Many Class 2 rounds from Shepton Mallet run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

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.

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