7.5 tonne planning

What to include in a 7.5 tonne request

A 7.5 tonner standing idle in Thornaby means customers waiting in. Temporary C1 cover keeps the round on the road while a regular driver is away.

Event and exhibition work comes with venue slots, security checks and early load-ins. It suits drivers who are flexible about hours.

For a 7.5 tonne request, include:

  • The body: box, curtainside or Luton
  • How many drops and the delivery area
  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
  • Any installation or assembly at the customer's door
Compliance

Licence, CPC and hours

Category C1 covers vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg. We check that entitlement on the licence and review endorsements.

A 7.5 tonne driver who plans the round, protects the goods and is polite at the door keeps your customers booking again.

7.5 tonne FAQs

Good to know

What licence does a 7.5 tonne driver need?

Category C1, which covers vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg, plus a current Driver CPC for professional lorry driving. We check both before the first shift.

Can you cover two-person deliveries?

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.

Do you supply drivers for furniture delivery?

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.

How much notice do you need?

Planned cover is easiest with a few days' notice. Short-notice requests get a straight answer on what we can confirm.

Do you cover depots near Thornaby?

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