Temporary 7.5 tonne drivers for regional multi-drop, trade deliveries and two-person work in Didcot.
The C1 licence is the minimum; multi-drop experience is the brief.
In and around Didcot the 7.5 tonner does the jobs an artic cannot: town-centre drops, narrow access and customer doorsteps across the South East.
