Moving heavy or bulky freight around Hay and the border counties is far simpler with the right commercial vehicle on your side. SDVH supplies self-drive trucks across a range of sizes, so whether you are shifting palletised stock, building materials or refrigerated goods, there is a practical option to suit the job.
Choosing the right truck for the load
Every haulage task throws up its own challenges, so it pays to think about cargo type before booking. A box truck keeps fragile or high-value goods shielded from weather and prying eyes, while a flatbed suits awkward items that need crane or forklift loading. If your work involves soil, rubble or aggregate, a tipper saves hours of manual unloading, and a fridge truck protects chilled or frozen produce in transit. Capacities run from 7.5T up to 18T and beyond, covering everything from local deliveries to substantial commercial contracts. Tell us what you are carrying and we will point you towards the category that fits.
Booking around your schedule
Hire periods can be arranged for a single day or stretched across several weeks for ongoing projects, with rates quoted accordingly. Collection from an agreed point or delivery to your site can often be organised, simply outline your preferred timings when you enquire, and we will confirm what is possible for your dates. Early booking is always advisable if you need a specific bodied vehicle, as demand for larger trucks can be strong at short notice.
What to have ready before you book
A valid driving licence with the correct entitlement for the vehicle weight is essential, and we will need details of any additional named drivers. Think through your likely route and expected mileage too, as this affects the mileage arrangement attached to your agreement. Deposits and identification requirements will be explained at the quotation stage, so there are no surprises on collection day.
Insurance and longer journeys
Every hire includes standard insurance cover, though the applicable excess and any optional reductions will be set out clearly before you commit. Planning to take the truck further afield, including into Europe, or finish at a different location from where you started? Flag this early so one-way and cross-border arrangements can be checked and priced properly.
