Thanks everyone for all the good advice. I have filled in the form for the tacho card which I will post in next few days. As per my first post, I posted my D2 form 8 days ago and have checked the online licence check and today they have reinstated my HGV licence. I have 12 months which will give me some time to get medical done and decide exactly what I want to do .
I can get CPC booked, a couple of days of refresher training and then all being well look at signing up with an agency initially. I wont lie, I am a little nervous but I sure the confidence will come once i get back in the cab. Big step up from towing my caravan for the past few years.
On another note, if I chose to have a go at some coach or bus driving, will I have to do a separate bus driving test or will the CE cover it?
