Hi there, Im Jack from Manchester I have always had a passion for trucks since i can remember and have been brought up with trucks as my Dad is a class 2 driver. Although i dont currently hold a HGV licence im in the process of saving up money by putting £100 a week away. I currently have my Car license and have been trying to get Van driving work to gain some driving and road experience.
If i’m correct i have to do my 7 n half ton license then go in for my class 2 ? been looking up on information about taking my test and what not but still feel a bit puzzled so any advice would be great
Check out the LGV TRAINING TIPS thread sticky - link in my signature below
D4 medical - pay over £60 = ripped off
D2 form = tick C & D only = that will cover all medicals for all LGV & PCV categories
Always visit and talk face to face with any trainer before parting with any money for training
Keep current job until you are certain of getting a permanent LGV job
If already in a mon to fri job then generally you can drive LGVs for one day every other weekend and keep within drivers rest rules which may get you a start without giving up a steady job
I saw a job online last week for a trainee class C driver - must only have car licence, cant recall where but it caught my eye as its first time ive seen that before.
I posted details of a firm that were taking on an apprentice with a car kicence to train for class two and one licence which they wont pay for and nobody replied to it.It is Somerset.
