18 tonne rigid lorry with driver

An 18 tonne rigid carries much more weight than a 7.5 tonne lorry but is shorter and easier to manoeuvre than an artic. Tell us the weight and number of pallets and we check the right lorry.

At a glance

Payload (guide)	depends on the lorry; tell us the weight
Pallets (guide)	up to 14
Good for	Heavy part loads and building materials, sites where an artic cannot get in.

Figures are rounded guides. The partner haulier confirms the exact vehicle and body type. Compare every lorry to scale on the DRVX vehicle guide.

How booking works

1. Get a price. Enter the collection and delivery postcodes and the load. Standard jobs get an instant fixed price from the DRVX rate card.
2. Add the details. Addresses, site contacts, ready time and any booked-in delivery slot.
3. Pay and book. You pay DRVX for the job and DRVX books a vetted, licensed partner haulier at that price. If no partner can take it, we tell you and you pay nothing.

Booked per job, not by the day

DRVX Haulage books a dedicated 18 tonne rigid with driver for your job, priced from your postcodes. It is not day or hourly lorry hire. If you need a driver only, for your own vehicle, see DRVX driver supply.

Site requirements

• Tell us if loading is by forklift, by hand or needs a tail-lift.
• Give any booked-in delivery slot and reference when you book.
• Check that the lorry can get into the site and turn.

Mainland Great Britain only. DRVX cannot arrange hazardous (ADR) goods, temperature-controlled loads, live animals or international work.
