Temporary HGV Class 2 (Category C) Drivers

Professional Class 2 drivers for local, regional and national driving requirements.

HGV Class 2 / Cat C driver recruitment

Class 2 cover for rigid work, local to national

Temporary Class 2 drivers for the rigid-vehicle work that supplies shops, sites and depots.

Class 2 is the rigid-lorry licence. On GOV.UK's definition, category C covers vehicles over 3,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg — the eighteen- and twenty-six-tonne rigids behind store deliveries, builders' merchants, tipper work and a great deal of regional distribution.

Our Class 2 driver recruitment matches the driver to the round: store deliveries with a tail-lift, construction drops on awkward sites, early-morning regional runs or national work out of a depot. The vehicle and the delivery environment decide who fits, so those are the first things we ask about.

Licence definition: GOV.UK — driving licence categories.
