7.5 tonne drivers for Kilmarnock operators

Two-person and furniture work needs a driver who is good with customers.

Across Scotland, 7.5 tonne work swings with the seasons. Temporary cover lets the fleet grow for peak without growing the payroll.

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 the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse each need a slightly different driver, so we ask which one you run.

Where 7.5 tonne cover gets used

7.5 tonne cover across the main types of work.

How it works

Booking a C1 driver

We match the driver

We look for C1 drivers who have run similar rounds and want that pattern.

We check the licence

C1 entitlement, Driver CPC and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.

You confirm who is coming

We tell you the driver, the start time and the site.

7.5 tonne planning

What to include in a 7.5 tonne request

Furniture retailers, wholesalers and removal firms often need C1 drivers for a season rather than a year. Temporary cover matches that pattern.

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:

  • Whether there is a tail-lift
  • How many drops and the delivery area
  • Whether a second person rides along
  • How many days or weeks of cover
Compliance

Licence, CPC and hours

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

Tail-lift operation, safe lifting and careful reversing in tight streets are the skills that decide a 7.5 tonne round.

7.5 tonne FAQs

Good to know

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.

Can you cover peak season?

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.

Do you cover depots near Kilmarnock?

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

Do you also recruit permanent 7.5 tonne drivers?

Yes. Our permanent driver desk places 7.5 tonne drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire. Temporary cover can keep the round going while that search runs.

Do drivers help with unloading?

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.
