What the official data says about Caerphilly
C1 rounds straddle two counts. Caerphilly has 15 employee jobs in postal and courier activities and 350 in freight transport by road, and 7.5 tonne work is run out of both.

The 7.5 tonne driver role
A 7.5 tonne rigid on category C1 is the bridge between a van and a lorry. The rounds are local, the drop counts are high and the vehicle is small enough to get down streets an artic could not attempt.
