Plan truck hire in Tonbridge
Sorting how a load will be handled at collection and at delivery starts before the truck class is chosen.
Covered or open loads
Tell us whether the goods need cover and how they will be loaded and unloaded. Give us the load's dimensions and weight so we can discuss a curtainsider or dropside body against those requirements.
Confirm the licence category
Tell us the driver's licence category before choosing a weight class. We can check the proposed truck against that entitlement and confirm any driver or operator requirements before booking.
Weight isn't the whole picture
The stated tonnage includes the vehicle as well as the cargo. Give us the load's actual weight so we can compare it with the proposed truck's payload.
Awkward dimensions
Overhangs, unusual lengths or protruding parts can decide which body works, so mention shape as well as weight when you get in touch.
