Keep compact lorries working across North East Scotland with temporary C1 drivers.
Temporary C1 drivers who have worked this kind of round before.
Operators across North East Scotland run 7.5 tonners for trade and home deliveries. Temporary C1 drivers keep those rounds on schedule when a regular driver is off.
If the work includes a parcel trunk or a courier leg, say so — it changes the pattern of the day.
Demand from energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services keeps 7.5 tonne rounds busy across North East Scotland.
Aberdeen city centre is inside one of Scotland's four Low Emission Zones, which matters for town-centre rounds.
7.5 tonne rounds that suit short-term cover.
Vehicle, number of drops, crew and start time. A short form or call is enough.
C1 entitlement, Driver CPC and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Home and trade deliveries are booked into customers' diaries. Missing a round means rebooking every drop on it, so cover is worth arranging early.
Trade deliveries to builders, shops and workshops are faster-paced than home deliveries but carry heavier, awkward goods. Say which the round involves.
For a 7.5 tonne request, include:
No 7.5 tonne driver is confirmed until the licence shows C1 and the Driver CPC and right-to-work checks are complete.
C1 entitlement is only the start. Recent multi-drop work, the goods handled and experience with a second person come next.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Category C1, which covers vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC for professional lorry driving. We check both before the first shift.
Yes. Tell us about the crew and the work at the door so we brief the driver properly. Two-person rounds need a driver who leads the job, checks the access and gets the paperwork signed.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and when each one starts. Staggered starts are fine if the rounds build up over a few weeks.
Yes. Tell us about loading restrictions and access so we match a driver who is comfortable with tight streets, pedestrian zones and short loading windows.
Yes, where the work needs it. Say what the driver will lift and whether a second person is on the round, so the driver arrives expecting the physical side of the job.
