How it works

How a 7.5 tonne booking works

We match the driver

The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.

7.5 tonne planning

Setting up multi-drop cover

A 7.5 tonner standing idle in Leigh means customers waiting in. Temporary C1 cover keeps the round on the road while a regular driver is away.

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 a second person rides along
  • How many days or weeks of cover
  • Any installation or assembly at the customer's door
  • Who the driver reports to on the first morning
Compliance

What every 7.5 tonne driver holds

We confirm C1 entitlement, the Driver CPC card, right to work and a digital tachograph card where the vehicle and the work require one.

The driver knows the vehicle, the drops, the goods and whether a second person rides along before agreeing to the booking.

7.5 tonne FAQs

7.5 tonne drivers in Leigh — FAQs

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you cover depots near Leigh?

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

Can you cover town-centre deliveries?

Yes. Tell us about loading restrictions and access so we match a driver who is comfortable with tight streets, pedestrian zones and short loading windows.

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.
