For commercial loads, note the collection point, delivery point, access route, load weight, loading equipment, driver entitlement and whether the journey needs a box, curtainside, dropside or tipper-style body. If the route also touches Old Sarum, Wilton, Wiltshire, Alderbury, Charlton, Test Valley, mention that when calling so the team can check the most convenient starting point.

Commercial truck bookings need more than a date and postcode: confirm licence entitlement, hire purpose, route, loading equipment, access restrictions, mileage and any operator requirements before committing. A clear request should include the date, hire length, approximate route, delivery or pickup address, expected passengers or load, and any special requirements that could affect vehicle suitability.
