Keep compact lorries working across Hampshire & the Solent with temporary C1 drivers.
7.5 tonne cover starts with the drops, then the driver.
Work for Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers often means timed slots and busy loading bays. We match drivers who handle that kind of day calmly.
Tail-lift, box body or curtainside: tell us the vehicle and we match a driver who has worked with it.
C1 work across Hampshire & the Solent is served by the M27, M3 and A34, Southampton Airport and the Port of Southampton, but the skill is in the last half-mile: parking, access and the door.
From trade drops to two-person deliveries.
C1 entitlement, Driver CPC and right to work are confirmed before we name the driver.
We tell you the driver, the start time and the site.
Urgent cover gets a straight answer on what we can confirm.
A 7.5 tonner standing idle in Southampton means customers waiting in. Temporary C1 cover keeps the round on the road while a regular driver is away.
Chilled deliveries to restaurants, schools and care homes add temperature checks and early starts. The brief says what the driver needs to record.
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.
How many days, which vehicle and where it is based — that is enough to start.
Yes. We source temporary 7.5 tonne (C1) drivers for multi-drop, trade, furniture and two-person work across Hampshire & the Solent. Tell us the vehicle, the number of drops and the start date and we will confirm who we can put forward.
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.
Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.
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 about loading restrictions and access so we match a driver who is comfortable with tight streets, pedestrian zones and short loading windows.
