Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Washington

Class 2 driver recruitment for Washington — early starts, multi-drop rounds and weeks of holiday cover.

North East

Keeping Washington delivery rounds running

Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.

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

If the round has timed deliveries, say so. Drivers who are used to booking-in slots plan the day differently.

Rigid rounds from the A1(M) and A19 corridor estates deliver into town centres, retail parks and building sites across the North East.

Rounds we staff

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

You send the round

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

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

You confirm who is coming

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

Rigid planning

What to include in a Class 2 request

Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.

Store deliveries across the North East 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:

  • Where the rigid is based
  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
Compliance

Before the first drop

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.

Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
