ive had my hgv 1 licence for almost 2yrs now,
think its great. i doubled my money from being a van driver.

i must agree that it is often long hours, early starts late finish but ive not been out of work once.

this week im in at 4.30am every day for my trot down to southampton docks for the baot show, today i was finished at midday.
same thing 2morro however im expecting a longer day due to the load.

it depends on where you are really, in north london there seems to be loads of hgv work around.

i love it


my basic salary is £27k with a £1500 bonus but there is loads of overtime with the company im with. i work for an event and exhibition company.
im planning to do my hazchem / adr test soon as i want to drive tankers
