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

Across Cumbria, rigid rounds start from sites such as the Kingmoor Park estates at Carlisle and the A69 corridor. We ask where the vehicle is based and what the drops look like before anything else.
For Windermere operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing rigid assignments. Planned cover can be booked in advance.
Rigids across Cumbria rely on the M6 and A66, the West Coast Main Line and the port of Workington to reach customers inside tight delivery windows.
