I am seriously considering a change of career path to train (and at some point hopefully pass, fingers crossed) to drive LGVs hopefully C+E Class Arctic for a living.
My family come into a bit of money (not rich by any stretch of the imagination) but I have enough to fund it and I want to give it a shot. I am 32 (so I dont believe I am to old yet) stuck in an office on 16k. I just want a change and hopefully the opportunity to realistically earn more than that.
Ive started revising for theory but Im right at the beginning dont have medical done yet to get provisional etc but I want to do the medical in the same school I learn to drive and do assesment drive etc. I live in Birkenhead (Merseyside) I have searched a bit and there are a few schools in the area - I dont want to pick the closest school to me because it is the closest - within reasonable distance I want to choose the one that is going to do the best job of training me and give me the best chance of getting work.
There is choice above, I have no idea. Also prob ones Ive missed off as well. Is there any Merseyside truckers that can offer any advice within say 50 mile radius of Birkenhead inc ones above and ones I miseed of, which that are the best? Ones to avoid?

Truk Warrington are only that by name now - they carry out all driver training from their Bolton office - it is mentioned on their website
I recommend Chevron Training but then again I would

Hi mate, i’m with North County HGV at the moment, i’ve got my test tomorrow.
The instructor is great.
He will sort out your medical, theory test and initial CPC for you all included in the price.
He’s based in Wigan though, give them a go if you’re prepared to travel.
I live in Runcorn, it’s about 40 mins in the car, or just under an hour on the train.
I recently passed my C+E with Emerald Training in Deeside. Decent enough instructor, no BS & did a “cash” price. One to one training. Wagon’s aren’t the newest but they’re more than adequate.
