South East

7.5 tonne cover for Portsmouth

The C1 licence is the minimum; multi-drop experience is the brief.

Across the South East, 7.5 tonne work swings with the seasons. Temporary cover lets the fleet grow for peak without growing the payroll.

Removals and furniture delivery have their own rhythm: care at the door, protection for the load and time with the customer.

Across the South East the regional legs are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover; most of a 7.5 tonne day is then spent on town streets and estates.

Portsmouth has a class B Clean Air Zone that charges heavy goods vehicles that miss the emission standard, so we check the lorry before city rounds are booked.

How it works

How a 7.5 tonne booking works

Short-notice requests

Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.

7.5 tonne planning

Setting up multi-drop cover

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

Town-centre deliveries in Portsmouth mean loading restrictions, narrow streets and busy pavements. A driver who plans for them keeps the round on time.

For a 7.5 tonne request, include:

  • The body: box, curtainside or Luton
  • Whether there is a tail-lift
  • How many drops and the delivery area
  • Who the driver reports to on the first morning
Compliance

What every 7.5 tonne driver holds

Category C1 covers vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg. We check that entitlement on the licence and review endorsements.

C1 entitlement is only the start. Recent multi-drop work, the goods handled and experience with a second person come next.

7.5 tonne FAQs

7.5 tonne drivers in Portsmouth — FAQs

Can you cover two-person deliveries?

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.

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 Portsmouth?

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

Can you supply several 7.5 tonne drivers?

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.

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.
