Truck Hire Sully

Count the Hire Period Against the Real Day

Start with the event itself and work backwards. If the marquee goes up on Saturday, Friday collection gives you breathing room for loading and a sensible Sunday return. Checking the hire firm's opening hours against your own timetable matters more than the number of days on paper.

Describe the Load, Not a Vehicle You Half Remember

Rather than asking for 'a big truck', describe exactly what needs moving. Sixty folding chairs, a PA system and stacked trestle tables all shape the vehicle differently. Give approximate weights and awkward dimensions, and let the hire team recommend the right size from their fleet.

Ask About Costs and Cover While It Costs Nothing

Questions cost nothing, so ask plenty. Request a full written quote covering mileage, fuel and any cover options, and query anything vague. Larger vehicles sometimes sit in short supply, so a particular model isn't guaranteed until you reserve it — worth knowing before the event looms.

Settle the Drivers at Your Own Table

Decide who will drive before you enquire. If a brother-in-law is doing the Saturday run, his licence details belong in your first conversation. Settling the driving question at your own kitchen table avoids a scramble later and helps the hire team give you an accurate price.
