Temporary HGV Class 2 Drivers in Winchester

Rigid-lorry cover for Winchester and the South East: Class 2 drivers booked around your rounds, your tail-lifts and your delivery windows.

South East

Rigid drivers for Winchester operators

Early starts, tail-lifts and awkward sites — matched to drivers who like that work.

From the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports, rigid work fans out into towns, estates and retail parks. We match drivers who know how awkward a site delivery can be.

For Winchester operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.

Depots across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Their rigids deliver to the towns in between.

Rigid work, matched to the driver who knows it.

How it works

Booking a Category C driver

We match the driver

We look for Category C drivers who have worked similar rounds and want that pattern.

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver's name, start time and site so the depot can plan.

Cover can be extended

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

Rigid planning

Before you book a Category C driver

Across the South East, rigid work swings with construction activity, retail peaks and the weather. Temporary drivers let the fleet flex without changing the payroll.

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:

  • Whether it has a tail-lift or a HIAB
  • The start time and the finish you expect
  • Whether the driver collects signatures, returns or paperwork
  • Who the driver reports to at the depot
Compliance

Licence, CPC and tacho

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

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