Lgv 2 hgv2 class 2

Can a driver with a class 2 license drive a tractor unit ? The air compressor went on my unit this morning & i needed a replacement unit. To me,a unit without a trailer is a rigid ? It can be argued that the unit has a fifth wheel but the class 2 guy drives a rigid with a hitch & no trailer daily unless needed as a C+E. I ended up with no shift tonight as burnt my hours awaiting a class 1 driver to show with replacement unit. What’s the score ■■?

Of course he can, there is no trailer on the back of it…

F-reds

Yes, your firm could just have sent one of the rigid drivers out with a tractor :laughing:

C + E - The bit in bold means ‘plus a trailer’. If there is no trailer all you need is C.
