Stopped HGV driving in 2009, decided to come back as care work is total shite now. OMG how things have changed ! So much more BS . The amount of form filling, medical , CPC and more form filling 🤦🏻 I can see why there's a shortage !!! Great videos 👍 any help much appreciated .
Great video, really helped! Although I was able to get mine online through the same route, if you scroll down past the form printing link on the DVLA page there is a tab to order online. Was so easy, but I still would never have found that if it weren't for your video! Cheers!
I went to numerous post offices until one of them had the sense to tell me it was online🤦♂️ glad I’m not the only one. Awesome vid as usual bud strait to the point. The bucket of slime yeah my kids drive me mad with it too it gets everywhere lol
Nice one !! Saved me a trip to the post office and good advice about getting the card early . Seems everything is on line or video calls now , even the CPC elements because of Covid. Hope you got your dream driving job as it's over 2 years since you did the video !!
Oh bollocks, been running about up town in 3 mini post offices and to the main site where I live to be told different things everytime only to click on this video after wasting half a day! 🤦♂️😂 oh well! Keep up the good work man!
Omg nobody told me i had to do this!! Was not even in the official DVSA large vehicle guide book, only just passed the CPC few days ago too 😅 Thanks Deady!
Thanks for that mate it’s my first day today lucky enough I have not had to use the taco. I had to go up to Middlesbrough from Shropshire to pick up a van it is a pile of shit keeps keeps telling me low Oil put 2 L of oil in it and it still doesn’t like it broke down now at Junction 27 of the M62. Good start to the new job. Lucky enough I have managed to get off the motorway Recovery is coming 😔
Don't forget to record it as 'Other Work' hahaha! If you are a HGV driver and you actually 'Work' outside of Driving a HGV you have to record it as 'Other Work' Just say for arguments sake, you work 6 days HGV driving & stay within the rules and Regs, then go and stack shelves at Aldi on the 7th day.... this is illegal lol.
I will be arriving back in the UK tomorrow for the first time in 12yrs. How do i apply for a taco card if i cannot provide two forms of proof of address
You are always helpful;) Today I passed CPC module 4. Now I have to send off to DVLA my Practical Driving Test Pass Certificate with CPC Test Pass Certificate also my driving licence..My question is... I have to wait for my new driving licence from DVLA before applying for Digital Tachograph Card? maybe I should reed firstly comments below before asking sorry...….………...
No mate, send off for card as soon as mate! Your DQC card should come automatically mate & why didn't the examiner take your licence to turn into a proper card??
Deady 2012 When I passed the driving test on 8/01/20 then my examiner wanted to take my driving license and my driving practical test pass, to send to DVLA so that they would add me a new category C of course, but my instructor said if I will have a CPC theory test in a week or two then I will need a driving license at the examination center to pass the CPC Theory but by that time my driving license may not return from DVLA because it may take up to three weeks, and my instructor says when you pass the CPC exam theory and practical then you will send a certificate practical driving pass test with CPC with driving license to DVLA, today I passed my CPC I have all certificates and things browsing, what I should to do next, can I apply for Tacho card and send all my certificates at the same time, I’m really confused, I passed I have all documents but still I’m going to study about class 2 class 1. Driving a truck is not driving a car in the sandbox, very responsible work.
Great video mate I have done the same as you wandering round the post office is trying to get a form. I’m hoping to start work delivering cars driving A small car transporter less than 7 1/2 ton but it has to have a taco should be fun trying to get my head round it all. When you are loading do you have to put it on cross hammers I know it automatically goes to driving when you start driving. Hope it’s not a stupid question but it is all new to me watching videos on RU-vid right now. Drive safely stay safe
When you stop, it auto goes to cross hammers. But yeah, if you are working, you need it on cross hammers :) As soon as you stop moving, in traffic or anything, as soon as the wheels stop turning, your tacho automatically goes to cross hammers & automatically goes to driving when your wheels are turning.
Hi thanks for video I have provisional licence of category C and C1 around 9 months ago. Know I want to add C1+E provisional do I need to do medical again
Try work issuing a request to drive 3.5t toolbox van with added tacho for time and motion requirements. No picture in the system, ie paper docs. Request for a passport required, or driving license will be withdrawn.
Can't get picture into government system. And top management don't know what they are doing. ie the managers don't get tacho cards to drive, but workers have too. Madness.
Currently filling out the forms mate looking to leave my job next year and go driving. Im currently at the council driving 7.5tonnes and 18tonnes and gritting wagons. Whats it like for work in general mate are you agency work definetly got my driving experience and hours in due to the job My job is easy going but like yourself had enough and need a change. Love the vids pal keep it up sean 👍
I'm agency mate yeah, i'm happy on the Agency. They get me work and i do it. No matter what it is or where it is. I'm there. You'll have no problems with perm work with your experience. Co-op, Hermes, DHL, UPS, Royal Mail, Dominos, Hovis, Warburtons etc... all CRY for permanent drivers. Especially ones with experience. Good luck mate!
Luckily I never went to the post office I went on gov website and printed out but I’m now here to watch video so I know what to fill out. I got confused with GB driver number section like is it my cpc card or driving licence number lol
My digi card today has stopped working as i downloaded it. It wouldn't allow it. Abit off gold chip has come off. I dont know if they will replace that for free or pay 19 pounds.
Bloody Slime Av Band It In Our House Lol Just Going Through Your Playlist Was Thinking Of Going Through Thorpes For My Training Any Advice On Companies
Thorpes have a good rating, i don't see why you couldn't pass with them. I've only used Red Rose & they did everything for me. Booked every test sorted out all my lessons for me etc. I think it's all down to the individual to be fair. There was one guy at red rose who wanted to be a bus driver. First Bus put him through 15 tests and he failed them all then went to Red Rose & did his 12th with them on the day i did my test and he failed that. It had cost him over £3000 in tests alone & he still couldn't pass..... Poor sod.
@@TheHarlemShow01 What's that actually for mate? They shouldn't be able to give you a correct price until after your assessment. The main bulk of prices is for your lessons. They're like £150 per day vehicle hire & £50 ph for an instructor IIRC.
@@TheHarlemShow01 Sounds about right tbh. I paid £239 for my medical, assessment, Theory & Hazard perception plus revision books, then paid £1039 for 14 hours lessons, test & CPC mod 2 & 4. Then i paid for my Tacho card myself.
Deady 2012 ah right. Just wanna say whilst your here - thank you for your vids ,passed my class 2 very recently but having your vids really helped with certain things ..mainly with my theory which I was dreading ,so thanks pal. Keep doing you 👊🏻
