Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Skipton

Rigid-lorry cover for Skipton and Yorkshire & the Humber: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Yorkshire

Rigid drivers for Skipton operators

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

From the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.

Rigids across Yorkshire rely on the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

You confirm who is coming

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Short-notice requests

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

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.

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:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
