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

Highlands & Islands

7.5 tonne drivers for Thurso operators

Trade, retail and home delivery rounds, covered by one desk.

7.5 tonne rounds across the Highlands & Islands serve whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Much of the work is multi-drop, so pace and route planning matter.

Hiring a permanent 7.5 tonne driver too? Our permanent driver desk can run that search alongside the temporary cover.

Depots across the A9 and A82 trunk routes and the northern ferry terminals often load 7.5 tonners early so the first drops land before shops open.

7.5 tonne planning

Setting up multi-drop cover

Booking seasonal cover ahead gives more choice of driver and keeps the planners' week calm.

Two-person deliveries depend on the driver leading the job: checking the access, protecting the property and getting the paperwork signed.

For a 7.5 tonne request, include:

  • Whether there is a tail-lift
  • Whether a second person rides along
  • The goods: furniture, white goods, trade or parcels
  • How many days or weeks of cover
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.

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

How much notice do you need?

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.

Can you cover town-centre deliveries?
