Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Wallsend

Temporary HGV Class 2 drivers for rigid store deliveries, merchant runs and regional distribution in Wallsend.

North East

Class 2 cover for Wallsend

Store, merchant and depot rounds, covered by one driving desk.

Class 2 drivers across the North East work with automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs. Each round has its own rhythm and we brief the driver on it first.

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

Rigids across the North East rely on the A1(M), A19 and A66, Newcastle Airport and the ports at Tyne and Teesport to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

How a Class 2 booking works

You send the round

Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

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.

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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

What every Class 2 driver holds

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.

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