Rigid drivers for Stratford

Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Stratford

Category C drivers for Stratford operators — local, regional and national rigid work, checked before the first drop.

London & the South East

Category C drivers for Stratford rounds

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

Operators across the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.

For Stratford operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.

Category C work across London & the South East serves last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

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.

Rigid planning

The details a Class 2 match needs

Class 2 rounds are built around customer promises: store slots, site deliveries and trade counters that open at a set time. Cover protects those promises.

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:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
Compliance

Checked before the first drop

Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.

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.

Class 2 FAQs

Class 2 questions

Can you cover multi-drop rigid rounds?

Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
