LGV Class 1 Licence
6 Answers
How can I go about getting a Class 1 LGV Licence.
I hold a PSV Licence and a full ordinary driving licence, which entitles me to drive a 7.5 ton van, which I currently drive in work.

Crack, think about it very seriously!! the job is not worth spending in excess of a £1000 just to get abused by customers, traffic lackeys that's never been behind the wheel of a HGV but expect you to be at B before you have even set off from A, been there seen the video 40+ years, times have obviously changed from Flat Beds to Tauts but the sht is still the same, whatever you do, & I know Its hard if you have no exp in the loading areas, keep away from Agencies, they will rip you off, you hold a PSV, there is a vast difference regards that & driving a HGV + wage & conditions belive me, but at the end of the day, its your choice.
Hi Boxy, If I remember your OH is a HGV driver?? I am not in the habit of Bull shting, but I would think very seriously, the job is not the same as it was, we never used to drive like the "Glory boys" Stobart & their polished Scania, Ask half of their driver's to rope / chain, Chinese a trailer they would not have a bloody clue what you are talking about.
A short story Boxy, a friend of mine was working through an agency at Preston Lancs they sent him to a firm Locally in Blackburn, I am not in the habit of telling lies, his wage for that 40hrs week worked out at £5.50 per hr, I am aware of the Min wage, I know your area the rates are higher, but would anyone in their right mind drive a 44 ton destruction machine, at times carrying goods / fluids that could wipe out a whole town for the money that they ( The drivers earn) then get rollicked because they are 10 mins late? I have been there Boxy, but I soon got out of it.
