Keep compact lorries working across the East of England with temporary C1 drivers.
Two-person and furniture work needs a driver who is good with customers.
Work for container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs often means timed slots and busy loading bays. We match drivers who handle that kind of day calmly.
Peak weeks across the East of England usually add rounds rather than hours. A temporary 7.5 tonne driver covers the extra round.
7.5 tonne rounds from the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 reach homes, shops and trade counters where a bigger lorry would struggle.
7.5 tonne rounds that suit short-term cover.
We look for C1 drivers who have run similar rounds and want that pattern.
C1 entitlement, Driver CPC and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Booking seasonal cover ahead gives more choice of driver and keeps the planners' week calm.
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:
Every 7.5 tonne driver we confirm holds category C1 entitlement and a current Driver CPC, with right to work established first.
C1 drivers are asked which deliveries and vehicles they know best. The match is built on that, not just on the licence.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
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. Seasonal rounds are one of the most common reasons operators book temporary 7.5 tonne drivers. Share the dates early so the extra rounds are planned before the rush starts.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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, 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.
