Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Southend-on-Sea.
Multi-drop work needs pace and care in equal measure; we brief for both.
Class 2 drivers across the East of England work with container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.
Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.
Depots across the A1(M) and A421 corridors and the Bedfordshire distribution estates run early rigid departures. The first drop sets the pace for the day.
