Driving Experience Requirement for a Wannabe HGV Driver

kpoint8033:
Ive thought it through and I really think the work suits me and I’d be happy doing it but my main concern is my lack of driving experience. Is it realistic o go straight from getting my drivers licence into getting my HGV training and then going on to get a job driving? Or do most workplaces expect a certain level of experience on the road prior to getting :slight_smile: :slight_smile: HGV qualifications?

If I’m understanding this correctly you’ve either not yet passed the car test or have recently passed the car test, if that’s correct I would say you may find it harder than most to find work driving HGVs.

There are employers who will take on a new HGV pass but I’m not sure how many employers would take on someone who’s only just passed the car test and now wants to drive HGVs.
