Any HGV drivers on here? Lost my job this week and needing to get back into something soonish. I was wondering how easy is it to get LGV cat C at nearly 40 years of age? Easy enough to learn? I figure it’ll cost circa £1500 all in for provisional, medicals, theory, practical, CPC, tacho etc.
Once i have all this, is it easy to get a job as a newbie with no experience? I figure since Brexit and companies unable to import cheap labour from the eastern side of the continent drivers must be in demand? ♂️ I’d be willing to drive for an agency to build experience.
I’d want to get Cat C+E eventually but can’t afford it all in one go.
I loved the driving part of my job as a Field Service Engineer so this appeals to me
Need to fund a new car too when company car is taken off me at the end of the month, keep an eye on the for sale section for all my best fishing gear at bargain basement prices
