C1 drivers for Oban rounds

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

7.5 tonne rounds across the Highlands & Islands serve distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.

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.

7.5 tonne rounds from the Inverness Airport Business Park and the Cromarty Firth ports at Invergordon and Nisbet reach homes, shops and trade counters where a bigger lorry would struggle.

How it works

From request to first round

We match the driver

The driver is briefed

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

7.5 tonne planning

What we ask about the drops

Booking seasonal cover ahead gives more choice of driver and keeps the planners' week calm.

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:

  • Where the lorry is based
  • Whether there is a tail-lift
  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
  • Who the driver reports to on the first morning
Compliance

Checked before the first drop

Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years for professional lorry driving. We confirm it is current before the first shift.

For Oban deliveries we look at the driver's most recent rounds first. They say more about the day ahead than years on the licence.

Round to cover?

Cover the round

How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.

7.5 tonne FAQs

7.5 tonne questions

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.

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.

Can you supply drivers for event work?

Yes. Tell us the venue, the load-in times and the hours so we match a driver who is flexible about the day. Event work often means early starts and waiting on site.

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.
