Keep compact lorries working across West Wales with temporary C1 drivers.
Two-person and furniture work needs a driver who is good with customers.
In and around Newtown the 7.5 tonner does the jobs an artic cannot: town-centre drops, narrow access and customer doorsteps across West Wales.
Tail-lift, box body or curtainside: tell us the vehicle and we match a driver who has worked with it.
7.5 tonne rounds from the A487 coastal corridor and the mid-Wales agri-food belt reach homes, shops and trade counters where a bigger lorry would struggle.
Where temporary C1 drivers help most.
C1 entitlement, Driver CPC and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you the driver, the start time and the site.
If the gap runs on, tell us and we plan the next days.
Booking seasonal cover ahead gives more choice of driver and keeps the planners' week calm.
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:
No 7.5 tonne driver is confirmed until the licence shows C1 and the Driver CPC and right-to-work checks are complete.
For Newtown deliveries we look at the driver's most recent rounds first. They say more about the day ahead than years on the licence.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
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.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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.
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.
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.
