Temporary 7.5 Tonne Drivers in Shepton Mallet

Temporary 7.5 tonne drivers for regional multi-drop, trade deliveries and two-person work in Shepton Mallet.

South West

7.5 tonne drivers for Shepton Mallet operators

Big enough for serious multi-drop, small enough for town streets.

7.5 tonne rounds across the South West serve food and drink manufacturers, aerospace and defence supply chains, retail distribution and regional hauliers. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.

For Shepton Mallet operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing 7.5 tonne rounds. Planned cover can be booked well ahead.

Across the South West the regional legs are served by the M5, M4 and A38, Bristol Airport and the Port of Bristol at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury; most of a 7.5 tonne day is then spent on town streets and estates.

7.5 tonne planning

What to include in a 7.5 tonne request

Across the South West, 7.5 tonne work grows at the same times each year: spring moves, summer events and the pre-Christmas rush. Temporary drivers take the extra rounds.

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:

  • Whether there is a tail-lift
  • How many drops and the delivery area
  • Whether a second person rides along
  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
Compliance

Licence, CPC and hours

The drivers' hours rules depend on the work — GB domestic, assimilated or AETR. We brief the driver on the rules your rounds fall under.

Tail-lift operation, safe lifting and careful reversing in tight streets are the skills that decide a 7.5 tonne round.

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