7.5 Tonne driver recruitment

7.5 tonne cover for distribution and multi-drop

Temporary 7.5 tonne drivers for regional distribution, multi-drop rounds and commercial deliveries.

The 7.5 tonne licence is category C1. On GOV.UK's definition, C1 covers vehicles between 3,500 and 7,500kg with a trailer up to 750kg — big enough for serious multi-drop and pallet work, small enough for town-centre streets and tight loading bays.

Our 7.5 tonne driver recruitment covers the rounds that sit between the van and the rigid: regional multi-drop, trade and wholesale deliveries, furniture and two-person work and tail-lift drops to shops and sites. Tell us the vehicle, the number of drops and the start time and we match the driver.
