hi so i have been looking into hgv driving for a while now and im seriously interested in starting a new career. i am 23 years old and just have a few questions that i would really appreciate if you could help me with. so firstly is there anyway to get help with the funding for hgv training courses as i have been looking and not found any myself as of yet. also im aware you have to do cat c first and i was wondering if i completed the training would i be able to get a job or due to my age and lack of experiencing will that not be likely, and if i do what will likely be my starting salary ? sorry if these questions have already been answered but i really want to start a career as a truck driver and just would like to clear my hesitations before going further any input would be much appriciated thank you.

I got an idea of what I might earn by looking at jobs boards for my area. Filter out all the agency adverts though.

There is little, if any, funding available at the moment - though this changes from time to time. Some trainers, including us, offer finance. Beware of finance deals through brokers; stupidly expensive!
Your age will be a minor negative but you’ll get a start. Depending on the work, expect to earn between £8 and £11 per hour on CAT C. You may strike lucky and get more but I’m trying to paint you a fair picture.
Any questions, fire away.

As Peter has already said, some training companies do offer finance and the school that I got my CAT C at had a 0% interest finance available where you didn’t have to pay anything for the first 6 months! However I don’t know if there are any dodgy secrets hidden in the Terms and Conditions. None the less, I loved the school and they are reputable. Jcoates they’re called. Additionally, I am also a young driver with little experience and I had no issues finding work at a good pay rate. Location in the country seems to be quite a big factor; I live close to the Hatfield business park and therefore have all the operators there as well as in Hemel etc - so, like I said, if you live somewhere similar then it would be a big help.
