Temporary 7.5 tonne drivers for regional multi-drop, trade deliveries and two-person work in Innerleithen.
7.5 tonne cover starts with the drops, then the driver.
7.5 tonne rounds across southern Scotland serve Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.
If the work includes a parcel trunk or a courier leg, say so — it changes the pattern of the day.
Across southern Scotland the regional legs are served by the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals; most of a 7.5 tonne day is then spent on town streets and estates.
