When a 7.5 tonner sits in the yard in Deal, we source a driver who knows multi-drop work.
Temporary C1 drivers who have worked this kind of round before.
7.5 tonne rounds across the South East serve grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.
Removals and furniture delivery have their own rhythm: care at the door, protection for the load and time with the customer.
7.5 tonne rounds from the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow reach homes, shops and trade counters where a bigger lorry would struggle.
From trade drops to two-person deliveries.
We tell you the driver, the start time and the site.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
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.
A 7.5 tonne round is usually multi-drop, so the order of drops, the parking at each address and the time at the door decide the day. We brief the driver on all three.
For a 7.5 tonne request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years for professional lorry driving. We confirm it is current before the first shift.
Two-person and furniture work needs a driver who can lead the crew and handle the customer. We confirm that before a driver is put forward.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
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.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. We book 7.5 tonne drivers for sites across the South East. Tell us where the vehicle is based and where the first drop is.
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.
