When a rigid is parked up in Thirsk for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.
Across North Yorkshire, rigid rounds start from sites such as the A64 corridor between York and the coast. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.
Category C work across North Yorkshire serves agri-food and dairy processing, agricultural machinery and supply, retail distribution and regional hauliers, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.
Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Merchants, wholesalers and store networks often need Category C cover for a set period: holidays, a busy season or a new customer. Temporary drivers fill that period and no more.
Store deliveries across Yorkshire & the Humber follow a tight routine at the back door: booking-in, unloading and returns. A driver who knows the routine keeps the store on schedule.
For a Class 2 request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with category C entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
Yes. We source temporary HGV Class 2 (Category C) drivers for store deliveries, merchant and site work, tipper work and regional distribution across North Yorkshire.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
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. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
