Default Rules for driving a 7.5 tonne lorry

With having grand farther rights, do I need a CPC to drive for personal use a 7.5 tonne lorry?

How many hours per day can I drive?

Does not driving count as rest?

As it is for personal use do I need a tacho print out?

collect lorry at 8am, load 9-3pm, drive 2 hours, 15 minute break, drive 2 hours, unload lorry. Don't know how long to unload. Can I then drive 2 hours, 15 minute break, drive 2 hours? How long before I can next drive?
May need extra breaks on way home.

my "working day" if it starts at 8am when I collect the lorry could be 15-18 hours. Legally, is this too long?
