Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Solihull

Class 2 driver recruitment for Solihull — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.

West Midlands

Keeping Solihull delivery rounds running

Multi-drop work needs pace and care in equal measure; we brief for both.

From Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.

Rigids across the West Midlands rely on the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Rounds we staff

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Three steps to cover

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.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

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

Rigid work is about the drop as much as the drive. Reversing onto a busy site, operating a tail-lift and getting a signature all shape how long a round takes.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
Compliance

Before the first drop

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

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