slf drive 3.5ton lorry hire near to Leicester-help!

looking increasingly unlikely new lorry will be ready in time for my planned start to the 2011 season......hence this post.

prefer somewhere that will deliver/collect as im just so busy, it would be a nightmare trying to fit that in to the day/day before too.

These guys are very good, knowledgeable and nice with the horses. Bob at East Midlands Equine is very obiliging;http://www.eastmidlandsequine.co.uk/
These are very good too;

Beaver Hall (Leek) do self-drive but you have to collect.

thanks, but too far for me to go.

cant believe there arent more!

There is Equi Taxi, who are based in Nottingham. Not self drive, but they were really reasonable when I got a quote (cheaper than a self drive) and seemed lovely! I didn't end up using them, as I didn't dare put my bonkers neddy in someone elses lorry so waited for mine to be repaired instead...again!

Nearest one i can think of is these? ......

or this ......

Neither are exactly near though.
Would it maybe be worth looking at hiring for a month or 2 months untill your new lorry is ready rather than doing odd days/weekends? You might be able to haggle a good price.

Definitely worth talking to atacanter - very nice lorries and may do you a deal on a longer term hire - the worst that can happen is they say no.
