Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Tonbridge

Rigid-lorry cover for Tonbridge and the South East: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

South East

Rigid drivers for Tonbridge operators

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

Merchant and construction drops around Tonbridge mean rough ground, cranes and unloading on site. Say so in the brief and we match accordingly.

Seasonal peaks across the South East often add a round the rota cannot staff. A temporary Class 2 driver covers it without a permanent hire.

Category C work across the South East serves Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers, with rounds built around store slots and site hours.

Where Class 2 cover gets used

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

We check the licence

Category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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.

Many Class 2 rounds from Tonbridge run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The body type: curtainside, box, tipper, flatbed or tanker
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

Every driver is told the vehicle, the drops, the start time and anything unusual about the sites before they say yes.
