Class 2 HGV jobs around Brigg are category C roles on rigid vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, usually 18 or 26 tonne curtain-siders, boxes and fridges. The work is mostly multi-drop store and wholesale delivery with roll-cages and a tail-lift, home every night. Rates near Brigg typically run £16.00—£20.00 an hour.

Brigg is a market town on the River Ancholme at the crossroads of the Humber's road network. It sits between M180 junctions 4 and 5, with the A15 running north to the Humber Bridge and south to Lincoln, and the A18 heading west to Scunthorpe and east past Humberside Airport. Island Carr Industrial Estate, on the south-western side of the town near the Ancholme, and the Atherton Way estate host light industry, trade counters, services and storage, and the Glanford Brigg gas-fired power station stands to the south-west. Agriculture shaped the local economy, with food processing and agricultural supply still part of the mix. Many residents commute to Scunthorpe, Immingham and Grimsby, and the town's central position makes it a practical base for work across the whole region.
Harvest and agri-food seasons, plus overflow from larger sites in Scunthorpe and on the Humber bank, set the pace of labour demand for Brigg-based businesses. Sickness, holidays, contract ramp-ups and peak seasons all outpace a fixed driver roster. WSUK fills temporary driving jobs with Class 1 (C+E) drivers for trunking and container work, Class 2 (C) drivers for rigid distribution, 7.5-tonne (C1) drivers, and van and multi-drop drivers. Every driver clears DVLA licence checks, CPC verification and right-to-work before starting, and we run PAYE payroll with tacho and working-time compliance built in.
Class 2 is the workhorse of retail and wholesale distribution. Most rounds are one of these three, and the difference is mostly how much you handle.
RDC to high street or supermarket, delivering roll-cages through a back door on a booked window. Steady work, early starts, and a lot of cage movement on a tail-lift.
Multi-drop to pubs, restaurants, schools and convenience stores. More drops, smaller quantities, and often hand-ball into cellars and kitchens.
Deliveries to sites and merchant yards, often with a HIAB or moffett. Loads are heavier and the sites are less predictable, but the tickets carry a premium.
WSUK supplies temporary HGV and van drivers across Brigg and North Lincolnshire, for operators around Island Carr Industrial Estate and Atherton Way and drivers based in Broughton, Scawby, Wrawby and Barnetby. We match driver classes and shift patterns to each operator's routes, delivery windows and compliance needs.
Class 2 usually pays a few pounds an hour less than Class 1, but the trade-off is not simply money. Class 2 work is nearly always home every night, has regular start times, and gets you into a cab without waiting for a C+E test. Against that, it is more physical — cages, tail-lifts and hand-ball are normal — and the days are busier. Many drivers do a year on Class 2 and then upgrade, and a lot of operators will fund that.
Indicative PAYE rates as a guide — actual pay varies by shift, experience and site, with premiums for nights, weekends and bank holidays. Every rate we advertise is at or above the National Living Wage.
| Role | Indicative pay |
|---|---|
| Class 2 (C) Multi-Drop | £16.00–£18.50 / hr |
| Class 2 Store Delivery | £16.00–£19.00 / hr |
| Class 2 Nights | £17.00–£20.00 / hr |
| Class 2 with HIAB / Moffett | £17.50–£21.00 / hr |
| Class 2 with ADR | £17.50–£21.00 / hr |
Class 2 suits drivers who want to be home every night, do not mind physical work, and would rather have regular hours than the highest hourly rate.
The number that matters on a Class 2 job is the drop count, and it is the number most agencies will not tell you until you are in the cab.

It depends on the sector. Store and supermarket delivery around Brigg is often a handful of large drops on booked windows, while wholesale and foodservice rounds can run to twenty or forty smaller ones. We give you the actual drop count for a round before you accept it.
Yes, effectively always. Class 2 rounds are built around a local depot and return to it at the end of the shift, so you sleep at home. Nights away are a Class 1 tramping arrangement rather than a Class 2 one.
Class 2 is the industry name for category C, which allows you to drive a rigid goods vehicle over 3.5 tonnes — typically an 18 or 26 tonne lorry. It is the licence you take before C+E (Class 1). You also need a Driver CPC and a digital tachograph card for commercial work.
Typically £16.00—£18.50 an hour on multi-drop, £16.00—£19.00 on store delivery and £17.00—£20.00 on nights. HIAB, moffett and ADR tickets add a premium, usually taking rates to around £21.00.
Physically, usually yes. Class 2 rounds involve more drops, more roll-cages and more tail-lift work, and some sectors involve hand-ball into cellars or kitchens. Class 1 trunking is longer hours behind the wheel but far less handling. Which is "harder" depends on what you would rather do.
