Keep compact lorries working across the North East with temporary C1 drivers.
Big enough for serious multi-drop, small enough for town streets.
Operators across the North East run 7.5 tonners for trade and home deliveries. Temporary C1 drivers keep those rounds on schedule when a regular driver is off.
For South Shields operators we cover single days, full weeks and ongoing 7.5 tonne rounds. Planned cover can be booked well ahead.
Multi-drop work across the North East serves automotive and process-industry supply chains, port and container logistics and retail DCs, with rounds that change shape from season to season.
Where temporary C1 drivers help most.
We look for C1 drivers who have run similar rounds and want that pattern.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Booking seasonal cover ahead gives more choice of driver and keeps the planners' week calm.
Across the North East, 7.5 tonne work often runs from smaller depots and retail back-of-house. The first shift goes better when the driver knows where to collect the keys and the paperwork.
For a 7.5 tonne request, include:
Driver CPC means 35 hours of periodic training every five years for professional lorry driving. We confirm it is current before the first shift.
The driver knows the vehicle, the drops, the goods and whether a second person rides along before agreeing to the booking.
Give us the vehicle, the round and the start time and we will do the rest.
Yes. Tell us the vehicle and the type of goods so we match a driver who knows how to handle them. Blankets, straps and care on stairs matter as much as the drive itself.
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 about loading restrictions and access so we match a driver who is comfortable with tight streets, pedestrian zones and short loading windows.
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.
