you'll have to start from the bottom poss a 7.5tonner for a plant hire firm and work your way up to 17t - 32t rigid then they may let you loose on the bigger stuff.
Never thought I could jump into a 44tonner let alone a 150, Was just interested in how to get there, same goes for Hgv recovery, for both is there a certain point the normal hgv licences are no good, and difference ones needed,or is a experience thing?
Any my other q was as you are a lowloader driver, do you have a certificate for all plant you have to mover or may mover?
