When a 7.5 tonner sits in the yard in Lewisham, we source a driver who knows multi-drop work.
The C1 licence is the minimum; multi-drop experience is the brief.
In and around Lewisham the 7.5 tonner does the jobs an artic cannot: town-centre drops, narrow access and customer doorsteps across London & the South East.
Peak weeks across London & the South East usually add rounds rather than hours. A temporary 7.5 tonne driver covers the extra round.
Demand from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs keeps 7.5 tonne rounds busy across London & the South East.
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.
From trade drops to two-person deliveries.
We look for C1 drivers who have run similar rounds and want that pattern.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.

Event and exhibition work comes with venue slots, security checks and early load-ins. It suits drivers who are flexible about hours.
For a 7.5 tonne request, include:
No 7.5 tonne driver is confirmed until the licence shows C1 and the Driver CPC and right-to-work checks are complete.
Two-person and furniture work needs a driver who can lead the crew and handle the customer. We confirm that before a driver is put forward.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
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.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Yes. We book 7.5 tonne drivers for sites across London & the South East. Tell us where the vehicle is based and where the first drop is.
Yes. Tell us how many drivers you need and when each one starts. Staggered starts are fine if the rounds build up over a few weeks.
