Driving possibilities

Good Evening
I am 53 and still hold my class 1,even though I have not driven a truck since I was 29,I do not have a CPC.
If i were to take my CPC what are the chances of getting a reasonable job.
cheers Dave

Clearly you need to complete your driver cpc. I would also suggest a refresher. It’s possible that could count towards your driver cpc. Once completed you enter the job market at a good time. Things are better now than they have been for a long time.

All the best, Pete :laughing: :laughing:

At the moment the opportunities look like they are there. The press are howling about driver shortages, although Christmas is upon us so may be distorting the picture somewhat.

I am very inexperienced but I’m not having trouble finding work through the agencies. However, I expect the post-Christmas period to provide a better indication of whether there is really a driver shortage. If the work continues through January and beyond then you’ll have a more reliable indicator. Right now it might be a bit of a false positive, difficult to say for sure.

You also need to read and understand the current regs which is where a dcpc course on such could come in handy with the right dcpc trainer - preferably one with a LGV training school

you will also need a digicard
