7.5 tonne recruitment for Felixstowe

Temporary C1 drivers who have worked this kind of round before.

C1 work across Suffolk & the Haven ports is served by the A14, A12 and the Felixstowe-to-Nuneaton rail freight route, plus the Port of Felixstowe, but the skill is in the last half-mile: parking, access and the door.

7.5 tonne planning

Planning 7.5 tonne cover

Across Suffolk & the Haven ports, 7.5 tonne work grows at the same times each year: spring moves, summer events and the pre-Christmas rush. Temporary drivers take the extra rounds.

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:

  • Where the lorry is based
  • How many drops and the delivery area
  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
  • Who the driver reports to on the first morning
Compliance

Paperwork that decides it

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.

Common questions

Can you supply temporary 7.5 tonne drivers in Felixstowe?

Yes. We source temporary 7.5 tonne (C1) drivers for multi-drop, trade, furniture and two-person work across Suffolk & the Haven ports. Tell us the vehicle, the number of drops and the start date and we will confirm who we can put forward.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Can you cover town-centre deliveries?

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.

Can you supply drivers for event work?

Yes. Tell us the venue, the load-in times and the hours so we match a driver who is flexible about the day. Event work often means early starts and waiting on site.
