7.5 tonne cover for Sale and the North West: drivers booked around your drops, your windows and your crew.
Trade, retail and home delivery rounds, covered by one desk.
Busy streets in Sale reward a driver who plans the round before leaving the yard. That is the kind of driver we look for.
If the work includes a parcel trunk or a courier leg, say so — it changes the pattern of the day.
Across the North West the regional legs are served by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool; most of a 7.5 tonne day is then spent on town streets and estates.
7.5 tonne cover across the main types of work.
We tell you the driver, the start time and the site.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
Home and trade deliveries are booked into customers' diaries. Missing a round means rebooking every drop on it, so cover is worth arranging early.
Trade deliveries to builders, shops and workshops are faster-paced than home deliveries but carry heavier, awkward goods. Say which the round involves.
For a 7.5 tonne request, include:
The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.
C1 entitlement is only the start. Recent multi-drop work, the goods handled and experience with a second person come next.
One request can cover a single day or a run of weeks.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
