Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Wigan

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

North West

Keeping Wigan delivery rounds running

Rigid drivers who can reverse onto a tight site and still make the next window.

Across the North West, rigid rounds start from sites such as the M6/M62 distribution parks, Trafford Park and the Liverpool2 container terminal. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.

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

Depots across the North West are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Rounds we staff

Typical rounds a temporary Class 2 driver covers.

How it works

Three steps to cover

We check the licence

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

Cover can be extended

If the gap runs longer, tell us and we plan the next days.

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Rigid planning

Setting up rigid cover

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

Rigid work is about the drop as much as the drive. Reversing onto a busy site, operating a tail-lift and getting a signature all shape how long a round takes.

For a Class 2 request, include:

  • How many drops and the delivery windows
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Before the first drop

Where the job needs a HIAB ticket or ADR we confirm those too. The standard checks — category C, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work — apply to every booking.

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.

Class 2 FAQs

Your Class 2 questions

Can you cover multi-drop rigid rounds?

Yes. Tell us how many drops, the delivery windows and whether the vehicle has a tail-lift.

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you supply more than one Class 2 driver?

Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and whether they start on the same day.
