West Midlands

Rigid-lorry cover for Smethwick

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

From the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

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

Class 2 cover across the West Midlands is mostly about supporting automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators through holidays and busy weeks.

What Class 2 drivers do here

Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.

How it works

Our booking process

You send the round

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

We match the driver

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Rigid planning

Planning rigid cover

A rigid parked in the yard is a round that does not happen. Temporary Class 2 cover in Smethwick keeps customers supplied while a regular driver is off.

Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

The checks behind every booking

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.

Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.

Round to cover?

Tell us about the round

How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
