There should be a link between the training firms and the haulage firms. When a new driver passes he or she should be offered a job by a partner haulage firm. When teachers complete their training they do a year in the classroom as induction paid I might add. If drivers are professionals then we should have similar conditions.
Trouble is, are hgv drivers really classed as professionals ?
Not in this country in my opinion. Aiming to retire in 2020 when my next renewal is due and that will be 38 years driving lorries.
That day cant come quick enough for me.
