Class 2 Driver Agency UK
Class 2 rigid drivers on Cat C, for multi-drop, trade counter, tipper and municipal work, supplied as temporary cover to operators across the UK.
Why this seat is hard to fill
Class 2 work is rarely just driving. Most Cat C bookings are drop-heavy, physical and customer-facing, so a driver who can handle the vehicle but not the drops will still fail the shift.
Who we supply
What we check before anyone is confirmed
- Category C on the licence, verified by DVLA share code and re-checked every 90 days.
- Driver Qualification Card in date.
- Digital tachograph card present.
- Right to work verified from original documents.
- References taken before a first shift.
Shift patterns
Early starts are the norm on Class 2 — chilled and trade counter routes often load before 05:00. Municipal and refuse rounds run early through to mid-afternoon.
Pay and rates
PAYE hourly, paid weekly, with the drop count and any handball agreed on the booking rather than discovered on the day. Overtime and weekend uplifts confirmed up front. Holiday accrues under the Working Time Regulations.
Questions, answered
How fast can you supply a Class 2 (Cat C) driver?
Same-day cover is possible where the pool allows it and next day is the realistic standard. We would rather decline a booking than confirm one and fail to fill it on the morning.
What do you check before a Class 2 (Cat C) driver starts?
Category C on the licence, verified by DVLA share code and re-checked every 90 days. Driver Qualification Card in date. Digital tachograph card present. Right to work verified from original documents. References taken before a first shift. Licence entitlements are re-checked every 90 days for as long as a worker is on our books.
How are temporary Class 2 (Cat C) drivers paid and invoiced?
PAYE hourly, paid weekly, with the drop count and any handball agreed on the booking rather than discovered on the day. Overtime and weekend uplifts confirmed up front. Holiday accrues under the Working Time Regulations. Hours are logged against the booking as a digital timesheet, which you approve or reject with a reason and approved timesheets roll into one consolidated weekly invoice.
Do the Agency Workers Regulations apply?
Yes. After 12 weeks in the same role with the same hirer, an agency worker qualifies for equal treatment on pay and basic conditions. We count that from the first shift and tell you before the threshold lands, not after.
