Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Shipley, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.

Yorkshire

Shipley rigid cover, when you need it

Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.

Much of the Class 2 work across Yorkshire supplies retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.

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 the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

We check the licence

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

You confirm who is coming

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

Class 2 rounds are built around customer promises: store slots, site deliveries and trade counters that open at a set time. Cover protects those promises.

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:

  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Verified every time

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.
