Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Southwark.
Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.
Store deliveries out of the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.
Seasonal peaks across London & the South East often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Depots across London & the South East are served by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.
Rigids over 12 tonnes need a valid HGV safety permit to operate in Greater London. Every lorry over 3.5 tonnes also falls under the Low Emission Zone, so the vehicle is checked first.
Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.
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:
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.
A Class 2 driver who handles a tail-lift safely, reverses with care and deals politely with the customer is worth more than one who only drives well.
One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
