ScoobyAndy Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Sorry to have taken so long to reply. Forgot about this for a day or 3. whats involved in getting your hgv ?? ........ minimum 3 day driving lessons with test on 4th day is it worth it ??...... Yes major driver shortages atm do you always have to do long distance ??..... nah plenty local work at the moment and how much is it ?? to get class 2 including medical, theory test and getting ur provisional entitlement comes to just under 1k and then the class 1 it worked out at £900 My advice is if is something that you want to do then goahead and do it.
craigwrx Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Well done Andy ...watch out for them centre islands when turning [8-)] Now the hard part, getting the experiance before u get offered one of the "better" vacancies ....oh and some of them loading bays can be a right pain to get on nice and square ! Good luck ..[]
vicki Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Nice one Andy [Y] Went to London by bus last week and got a good look in all the cockpits. Its amzing what you can do at the wheel. Eat, drink, read maps, newspapers, magazines, text, phone and even .... do a crossword [] I couldn't believe my eyes!! Not tarring all drivers with the same brush, so don't fall out with me [:'(]
st3ph3n Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Saw a guy in a BT Van eating a bowl of cereal once. Quite impressive. Whilst moving I should add.
