7.5 tonne cover for Islington and London & the South East: drivers booked around your drops, your windows and your crew.
7.5 tonne cover starts with the drops, then the driver.
In and around Islington the 7.5 tonner does the jobs an artic cannot: town-centre drops, narrow access and customer doorsteps across London & the South East.
For Islington operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing 7.5 tonne rounds. Planned cover can be booked well ahead.
Furniture, trade and parcel rounds from the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates 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 cover across the main types of work.
Vehicle, number of drops, crew and start time. A short form or call is enough.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
A driver who has done two-person or furniture work before handles the customer and the load with less supervision.
Event and exhibition work comes with venue slots, security checks and early load-ins. It suits drivers who are flexible about hours.
