Keep compact lorries working across Leicestershire with temporary C1 drivers.
Big enough for serious multi-drop, small enough for town streets.
7.5 tonne rounds across Leicestershire serve national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.
For Leicester 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 Magna Park at Lutterworth, the M1/M69 parks and the East Midlands distribution corridor each need a slightly different driver, so we ask which one you run.
From trade drops to two-person deliveries.
We look for C1 drivers who have run similar rounds and want that pattern.
If the gap runs on, tell us and we plan the next days.
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.
Two-person deliveries depend on the driver leading the job: checking the access, protecting the property and getting the paperwork signed.
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 entitlement is only the start. Recent multi-drop work, the goods handled and experience with a second person come next.
Share the dates and the round. We will be straight about what we can cover.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
