You are on the money there Paul. Work on £50 an hour plus tests, medical, DCPC, etc and you won’t be far off. Bearing in mind that the national LGV pass rate is around the 50% mark, figure on 4 tests to gain class 1.Three grand should easily do it.
I’m working on bugger all bud. Got mine, and I did it in 2 tests, in manuals.
Now I’m just living the dream
Although I do keep thinking that when I have enough spare cash lying about, I’ll do the bus jobbie, just to get a full set. And maybe see out my driving days ferrying busloads of Doris’s down to Benidorm.
Not a priority right now though.
By the way bud, that new motor of mine knocks spots off the old one. The extra 750,000kms might have a bit to do with it, but for now, it pulls loads better, doesn’t have an arsetronic gearbox, and it feels more like you are driving something, as opposed to captaining it.
