Can you work HGVs and still have a family life

I would say pallet networks are the best since you won’t do 3am starts, no nights out and if not finished by 5 then they usually want the truck back. Mostly available as 7am to 5pm ish Mon to Fri shifts. Not quite office work admittedly.

Ok, not the best money more like £22 to 24K I would say for days class 2 pallets depending where you are in the country. Maybe a little more for class 1 but not really enough to justify the cost.

Nights can he alright but you wont always see kids and you’ve really got to be a nights person. This is mostly a class 1 exclusive.

As for other professions - I used to think I should have gone to be an electrician, plumber, gas engineer, mechanic etc. But you get really crap apprenticeship wages for years and then the “work anywhere” Euro system decimated the jobs market for what used to be trades for life.

All jobs are subject to flux.
