7.5 tonne recruitment for Greenwich

The C1 licence is the minimum; multi-drop experience is the brief.

In and around Greenwich the 7.5 tonner does the jobs an artic cannot: town-centre drops, narrow access and customer doorsteps across London & the South East.

Two-person crews need a driver who leads the job at the door. Say if the booking involves a second person and we brief the driver on it.

Furniture, trade and parcel rounds from London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt each need a slightly different driver, so we ask which one you run.

A 7.5 tonne lorry is over 3.5 tonnes, so in Greater London it falls under the Low Emission Zone rather than the ULEZ. The HGV safety permit scheme starts at 12 tonnes, above a 7.5 tonner.

7.5 tonne planning

What we ask about the drops

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:

  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
  • The start time and the usual finish
  • Any installation or assembly at the customer's door
  • 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.

The driver knows the vehicle, the drops, the goods and whether a second person rides along before agreeing to the booking.

7.5 tonne FAQs

Common questions

What licence does a 7.5 tonne driver need?

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.

Do you supply drivers for furniture delivery?

Yes. Tell us the vehicle and the type of goods so we match a driver who knows how to handle them. Blankets, straps and care on stairs matter as much as the drive itself.

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.

Do you cover depots near Greenwich?

Yes. We book 7.5 tonne drivers for sites across London & the South East. Tell us where the vehicle is based and where the first drop is.

Can you supply several 7.5 tonne drivers?

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.
