Store replenishment, builders' merchants and tipper work around Tower Hamlets, covered by experienced Class 2 drivers.
Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.
Operators across Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25 run rigids on tight delivery windows. Temporary Category C drivers keep those windows when a regular driver is off.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Rigids across London & the South East rely on the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.
Rigids over 12 tonnes need a valid HGV safety permit to operate in Greater London. Every lorry over 3.5 tonnes also falls under the Low Emission Zone, so the vehicle is checked first.
Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
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.
Across London & the South East, rigid work swings with construction activity, retail peaks and the weather. Temporary drivers let the fleet flex without changing the payroll.
Drinks, food service and chilled rounds combine early starts with heavy handling and customer contact. The brief says what the driver will lift and where.
For a Class 2 request, include:
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.
Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
One request can cover a single day or several weeks.
