Driver Requirements for Truck Hire

Drivers who have taken (category B) test before 01/01/1997 will have category C1 (7.5t) entitlement on their driving licenses. If you are not in this position, you will need to take a separate category C1 test before you can drive 7.5 tonne trucks legally on public roads.

Commercial or Private Use

If you are using a 7.5t hire truck for commercial use, you will be required to keep a tachograph record and will also need to show a operators licence. This is not required for "non-commercial carriage of goods for personal use" - i.e. moving house for yourself.
