Potential euro trips

dead.duck:
Just started my journey into getting my HGV license. But I’d like to know how much experience on C+E you need before being ‘allowed’ to Euro work? I understand there is no rules but what most eployers expect from their drivers before sending them on European roads?

As you say there are no rules saying you must have x amount of experience to do European driving, it could be your first job as a truck driver.

However these days that is unlikely, unless that’s all the company does or you’ve already been working for them in some other capacity, van driver for example, so they know what type of worker you are instead of relying on somebody that they no nothing about and has no experience of the job.

But if what you want to do is European work, then don’t wait for some random time to get the experience before applying for those jobs, find out who does European work and pester them, you’ll probably get loads of knock backs, but you never know, right place right time and all that.
