When a rigid is parked up in Tetbury for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.
Across the South West, rigid rounds start from sites such as the Avonmouth and Severnside estates. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Class 2 cover across the South West is mostly about supporting port logistics, retail and grocery DCs, aerospace and defence supply chains and regional 3PLs through holidays and busy weeks.
Where temporary Category C drivers help most.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.
Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.
For a Class 2 request, include:
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.
Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.
Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.
