When a rigid is parked up in Whitley Bay for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.
Much of the Class 2 work across the North East supplies automotive and chemicals supply chains, port and bulk logistics, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.
Tail-lift, HIAB or curtainside: tell us what the vehicle carries and we match a driver who has worked with it.
Depots across the A19 corridor, Teesport and the Tyne and Wear distribution parks run early rigid departures. The first drop sets the pace for the day.
Where temporary Category C drivers help most.
Vehicle, number of drops, delivery windows and start time. A short form or call is enough.
If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
A driver who already knows tail-lift work or site deliveries needs less supervision on the first day and gets the round done safely.
Refuse and municipal rounds are Class 2 work with a public face. The brief covers the route, the crew and the safety rules for working on the street.
For a Class 2 request, include:
Every Class 2 driver we confirm holds category C entitlement, a current Driver CPC and a valid digital tachograph card, with right to work established first.
Manual handling, site safety and customer contact are part of most rigid rounds. We say so to the driver before they accept.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Category C, which covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes, where the work needs one. Tell us the lorry-loader and the type of loads so we match the right ticket.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. We book Class 2 drivers for depots and sites across the North East. Tell us where the vehicle is based.
