Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Westhoughton

Category C drivers for Westhoughton operators — local, regional and national rigid work, checked before the first drop.

North West

Category C drivers for Westhoughton rounds

The licence is the minimum; experience of the delivery environment is the brief.

From the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

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

Class 2 cover across the North West is mostly about supporting port and intermodal operators, chilled and grocery distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and manufacturing logistics through holidays and busy weeks.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C

Store, site and depot work

From store deliveries to site drops.

How it works

From request to first round

We check the licence

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

The driver is briefed

Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.

Planned cover booked early

Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Rigid planning

What we ask about the round

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 Westhoughton run to delivery windows. Tell us the windows and we brief the driver on the order of drops.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • Any site access or unloading restrictions
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Any ADR or HIAB tickets required
Compliance

Checked before the first drop

No Class 2 driver is confirmed until the licence shows category C, the Driver CPC card is in date and the tacho card and right-to-work checks are complete.

On Westhoughton rounds, what a driver did last month tells us more than how long they have held category C.

Round to cover?

Tell us about the round

How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.

Class 2 FAQs

Class 2 questions

Do you supply drivers with a HIAB ticket?

Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.

Can you cover early starts?

Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.

Do you also recruit permanent Class 2 drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places Class 2 drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire.

Can you cover tipper work?

Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.

Can drivers handle customer paperwork?

Yes. Tell us what the driver collects at each drop (signatures, returns or delivery notes) and we brief them on it.
