When a rigid is parked up in Thornaby for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.
Operators across the Newton Aycliffe and Darlington manufacturing estates run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.
Seasonal peaks across the Tees Valley often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.
Category C work across the Tees Valley serves chemicals and process industries, port and container logistics, steel and heavy manufacturing and rail-linked 3PLs, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.
Where temporary Category C drivers help most.
Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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.
Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.
For a Class 2 request, include:
No Class 2 driver is confirmed until the licence shows category C, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.
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.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
