Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Slough

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

South East

Slough rigid cover, when you need it

Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.

From the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

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.

Depots across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Class 2 shifts we fill

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

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

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.

Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
Compliance

Verified every time

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

We ask Category C drivers which rounds and bodies they have worked, then match on that rather than on the licence category by itself.

Class 2 FAQs

Before you book

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover Saturday rounds?

Yes. Saturday and bank holiday rounds can be booked in the same way as weekday cover.
