Thanks for the information. Are you allowed to listen to the radio as you drive along?

I got my class 1 practical test September I cannot wait I'm currently on the buses 20 years London I want to change so I hope I'm going to find the right driving job I like the idea of choice and working for an agency plus the financial benefits

Really helpful video! I’ve wondering, u mention the 10-12hrs working with up to 15hrs just in case. Is that then classed as over time? Also working them kind of long hours topically how many days would u work/get days off?

Is that a microwave behind you? Does this mean you can prepare food and eat healthy without relying on fast food? Also how do lorry drivers shower when they are doing long journeys?

Let’s say you arrive at a delivery and wait to be unloaded for 2 hours do you put it on rest or other work for them 2 hrs?

Anyone thinking about getting into class 1 work needs to seriously think about it they can handle the hours. For example do not work for a company that will pay you a salary... Get paid by the hour.. On a salary when you drill down into the amount of hours you work (not just driving) you'll find your only on about £12-13 ph (up north). Sometimes those hours are crazy and you can end up doing a 12-15 hour day which is the norm.. you might even start your shift midday and not finish till 3am the following day.. just remember in some areas Sainsbury's are paying £12.55 per hour for box van work.. The transport industry needs a massive overhaul.. and whilst there are jobs out there that will pay great and give you fantastic hours, you need to have experience and sometimes the only way to get that experience is agency work and you might end up doing mental hours. Currently I have a class 1 license and I've opted for class 2 pallet work as it gets me home for tea time and the money is just ok

Just wondering, how long do the vehicle checks take? And do you get paid for that?

Also are you allocated a specific lorry or do you always end up driving different lorries?

Hi pal have my class 2 and cpcs done I just want 2 know can I drive an artic truck without a trailer on a class 2 license we’ll say if I wanted to hire out one for the day or do I need the class 1 license

Is that seat comfy bouncing around?

Do you get back pain?
