Do i sign upto an agency or do my initial cpc?

I no I need to do my initial cpc, but will an agency pay for it if I sign up?
I don’t think they will but I cant shift a niggle I have that I had read it somewhere?
all info much appreciated

No agency I know of would pay for your Initial CPC.

Even if you did find an agency that would pay for it they would screw you down to a contract that meant you doing all the [zb] work they could find and paying you peanuts, but like I say you’re unlikely to find one that will pay for it.

as I thought, ill just book the test and practical, save ■■■■■■ aboot

thanks

It depends where you are. Here in Essex where there is a bit of a driver shortage a few agencies do pay for CPC days but only after you have completed a certain number of jobs for them. As tachograph says, they will probably offer you a lower hourly rate though, because you get nowt for nowt from agencies.

That would be the periodic dcpc that the agencies are doing not the initial

The OP’s referring to the Initial CPC mate, so it’s unlikely he’ll be able to do any jobs for them that involves driving HGVs on public roads until after he’s done it :wink:

True true, cheers guys
