Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Stamford

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

East Midlands

Stamford rigid cover, when you need it

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

Merchant and construction drops around Stamford mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

Tipper and bulk work has its own demands — weighbridges, tipping sites and loose loads. Drivers we book for it have done it before.

Rigids across the East Midlands rely on the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Class 2 shifts we fill

Class 2 cover across the main types of rigid work.

How it works

Getting a driver booked

We check the licence

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

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

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.

Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Verified every time

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.

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.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
