I’ve been a lurker on this site since I did my HGV lessons in 2003 (does anybody remember Popeye? From Scotland and did diaries of skip work) and the site has taught me loads.
Am I right in remembering in the old days the forums looked a bit different?

Have I done my DCPC = no
Will I be earning in September = yesNot without doing your cpc in the meantime. But then you knew that, you like to keep everything legal
There are ways to earn money other than driving lorries.*
*unless you’re a thick as [zb], curtains pulled forward, trucker; in which case a DQC will be required.
Really, there are ways to earn money other than driving a truck ? Did you get this info from TNUK ?

Can I preform other duties in September as opposed to driving? without a DCPC?
Maybe Chester, I’m sure that your attitude to red tape will much appreciated in other industries 
Or are you taking the big leap into the transport office where it will be celebrated with a collective groan, as they will have to order a bunch of no smoking signs to stick all over everyone’s desks??

Why would the office want me working in there have you not seen my spelling!!
Moaster certainly has 
He’s publicly announced on this forum he’s proud to be able to spell better than a truck driver
I will however be driving a transit van for the next few months at least, I agree it’s a bit of a buggerence has it has no bunk so my company have to book hotels for me 3 nights a week, and give me a extra £23.50 a night to endure the hardship of sleeping in a double bed.
I hope I get my DCPC soon “NOT” 
I never said I was proud to be able to spell better than a truck driver Chester, I said better than you! Incidentally I’ve never considered you to be a truck driver if that helps.
You actually do amuse me Chester. I used to call you “thrush” as I considered you to be an irritating little zb, but now after watching Kevin Costner roam across the prairies I’m going to honour you with a native American name; from now on, to me you will always be “talks with ■■■■■■■■”. HOW. 
so my company have to book hotels for me 3 nights a week, and give me a extra £23.50 a night to endure the hardship of sleeping in a double bed.
I prefer to sleep in a double bed every night too. At home. Does your hotel bed come with a missus/mister to wrap yourself around?? Thought not. It’s just a slightly bigger lonely place to kip in.
Granted if you met someone on a “night out” at the hotel, " come up to my room" sounds better than, “fancy a ‘bunk up’ in the layby/lorry park, it’s only 5 minutes walk, oh and there is no toilet”
Just make sure the hotels they book you in have their Emergency Escape Plan on the back of the door, they are law you know
