Wanna be driver Cardiff area with a few questions

Hi guys,

I’m looking into possibly getting my class 1&2 license, but I have a few questions first.

• anybody from the Cardiff/south Wales area what’s finding a job like down here.

• what’s the average wage like weekly/monthly.

•whats the average hours per week/working patterns like.

Im currently working in alloy wheel refurbishment doing 9-5 but fancy a change. I love driving so thought this might be the job for me. But I don’t want something that’s going to totally distroy any social life I have that’s why I was wonder what the average hours and days are like, but I know this can vary depending on job/employer.

Any insight and advice is very appreciated thanks guys

I don’t know about jobs in the Cardiff area but I stopped planning things for after work as I always seemed to be delayed. So from that perspective it’s not great on the social life. A working week tends to be a minimum of 48 hours per week rather than the usual 40 other industries are accustomed to.

I use to love driving and took up the job for very similar reasons (although I only work part-time) Turns out I loved driving where I wanted to go and when.

Driving into central London at 8am on a Monday soon lost it’s appeal for me.

Think carefully because most driving jobs will cut into your social life in some shape or form
