When a rigid is parked up in Whitstable for want of a driver, we source a Class 2 driver who knows that kind of round.
Temporary Category C drivers who have run this kind of round before.
Much of the Class 2 work across the South East supplies grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Those rounds reward drivers who handle customers well at the door.
Retailers, wholesalers and merchants across the South East book Class 2 cover for holidays, sickness and busy weeks. Tell us how many drops and how long the booking runs.
Stores and sites supplied from the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel rely on the same drivers turning up each morning, so gaps show quickly.
From store deliveries to site drops.
We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.
Site rules, the vehicle, the first drops and who to report to.
Holidays and seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
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.
Tipper and aggregate work means quarries, weighbridges and tipping sites. It suits a driver who has done it before, which is exactly what we look for.
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.
Early starts suit some drivers far better than others. We confirm the driver is comfortable with the start time before they are put forward.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.
Yes. Many rigid rounds start before six. We match drivers who are used to that pattern.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes, where the driver has tipper experience. Tell us the material, the sites and whether a weighbridge is involved.
Yes. Saturday and bank holiday rounds can be booked in the same way as weekday cover.
