When a 7.5 tonner sits in the yard in Telford, we source a driver who knows multi-drop work.
7.5 tonne cover starts with the drops, then the driver.
Busy streets in Telford reward a driver who plans the round before leaving the yard. That is the kind of driver we look for.
Hiring a permanent 7.5 tonne driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search alongside the temporary cover.
Across the West Midlands the regional legs are served by the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections; most of a 7.5 tonne day is then spent on town streets and estates.
Where temporary C1 drivers help most.
The vehicle, the first drops, the crew and who to report to.
If the gap runs on, tell us and we plan the next days.
Seasonal rounds can be booked weeks ahead.
Home and trade deliveries are booked into customers' diaries. Missing a round means rebooking every drop on it, so cover is worth arranging early.
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:
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. 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.
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. Our permanent driver desk places 7.5 tonne drivers onto your payroll when you want a permanent hire. Temporary cover can keep the round going while that search runs.
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.
