Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Tain

Rigid-lorry cover for Tain and Scotland: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

Highlands & Islands

Rigid drivers for Tain operators

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

From Fort William, Oban and the west-coast ferry ports, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across the Highlands & Islands book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.

Depots across the Highlands & Islands are served by the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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:

  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

Category C covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg. We check that entitlement on the licence, review endorsements and confirm the Driver CPC card is in date.

We ask Category C drivers which rounds and bodies they have worked, then match on that rather than on the licence category by itself.

One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
