You're welcome mate!

Im a self employed courier delivering parcels out a van. I make £550 a week after tax and do 45 hours. In 7 years ive never taken a break and every single shift from minute 1 till finish is is go go go. For people like myself the idea of hgv work sounds fucking bliss so the pay/work/lifestyle would make up for everything people complain about being a hgv driver. Might have to change my career path...

Thanks for the advice mate! As I said in a previous comment, I just passed all the tests and now I'm waiting for all the cards to arrive at home. After that, maybe I will start working for a company that is partner with Amazon and I will get that experience what I need. All this videos are very helpfully, its creates an idea of what we expect on this industry. Drive safe!💪💪

GlAd it helped buddy, and best of luck just remember to take your time on your first few weeks 👍

@hermannparkhomenko1166 Год назад

Avoid the big "A"! Working for them is a nightmare, especially on their vehicle. You can speak with their ex-colleagues or subcontractors. Supermarkets are way better place to work.

@hermannparkhomenko1166 Thanks for the advice 🙏 . I'll keep looking as I'm living in Luton, so there're a lot of companies around.

Thanks for the advice! I have 1 more day of training before my driving test on Friday, starting to shit bricks 😂

@truckitprayle Год назад

You will be fine mate, just take your time unlike your car test they don't really care about you being over cautious so just make sure you wait as long as it takes to pull out safely etc.

@lukey3507 Год назад

You don't get courtesy from other vehicles whilst driving a car. People see you at a junction and floor it to prevent you getting in front of them, people race from one red light to another and risk points on their license for speeding to get to the same red light as the person doing the speed limit. In order to be in this profession, you must enjoy your alone time and be able to survive in solitude. If you constantly need someone to talk to and be around you, then this career will quickly chew you up and spit you out.

50 hours a week for 5-700£ so hourly £ is not good

@carlmehta6622 11 месяцев назад

I'm a class 2 driver and broke down recently 3 and half hrs into a regular planned 10 hr shift. I waited 5 hrs for breakdown assist to come out, then a further 3 and half hrs for recovery truck. Then its a further 90 mins back to base. It got to a point where I couldn't wait there any longer and had to get back for other important arrangements, but work insisted I couldn't leave the vehicle as it's an asset. There was only a partial load, not high value and the vehicles are ancient. I'm salaried and they did say they'd pay me OT, but only when I prompted. What's your view on leaving the vehicle?

@truckitprayle Год назад

I be honest mate i don't really know the legality of it, but they should definitely pay ypu for ypur time.

@xConnor007x 10 месяцев назад

thinking of getting into hgv driving, im 28 years old, how much does it roughly cost these days in total to fully get started? also should i go straight into class 1 or do some class 2 first?

@truckitprayle 10 месяцев назад

You can do your class 1 straight away now but id probably do some class 2 work for a while then work your way up, should cost approximately £2000ish

@Bobi-ow6ou 5 месяцев назад

Get into a government bootcamp for class 1 I’m doing the same it saves you money. .gov hgv bootcamp or check out mantra learning on google they provide training worth £4500

you can work more than that in recovery as we don't use taco's some lads at my depo work 80+hrs a week

@truckitprayle 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, nah thanks 😅

@gravemind6536 Месяц назад

I did 80 hours weeks on the buses good money and plenty of time spent sat in the canteen having banter with fellow drivers but it sure as heck catches up to you. I was enjoying £1k take home for a long phase when saving to buy a house and it helped big time but you can't maintain it.

@randompotatoguy9347 Год назад

currently doing my class 2, just waiting for my licence to come back from the dvla so i can go ahead with theory and practical training. i can't wait to actually drive a truck for a living, that'll do me for a long long time.

@truckitprayle Год назад

@craigeaston5680 2 месяца назад

Hi there I thought u could only work 90 hours in a 2 week period but u said u do 50 hours a week so who dis that work thanks

@gravemind6536 Месяц назад

Incorrect you can only drive 90 hours over a 2 week period, there is other work outside of driving meaning he can far exceed 90 hours with driving and other work combined.
