When a rigid is parked up in Waterlooville for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Class 2 cover starts with the vehicle and the round, then the driver.
Store deliveries out of the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel often start before six. We book drivers who want early starts rather than tolerate them.
Hiring a permanent rigid driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search while the temporary cover keeps the round going.
Class 2 cover across the South East is mostly about supporting grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs through holidays and busy weeks.
Rigid rounds where a temporary driver fits.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Booking Class 2 cover ahead of the holiday season gives the widest choice and keeps the depot manager out of the scramble.
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:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years. We confirm it is current, along with category C entitlement, the tacho card and right to work.
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.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
