Job advice hgv.

CAFCTILLIDIE

I have just passed my hgv class 2 . Trying to find a job live in Maidstone kent , was thinking of doing some 7.5 ton driving before hand to try get a bit of experience . All the jobs I have tried to look for say I need drivers experience but I don't have any as I have only just passed , many of them also say you have to be over 23 but I am only 21 . Anyone who is in this line of work have any advice ? Would realy appreciate it. Don't realy no what to do not to confident going straight into class 2 but not sure whether to just go for it or do some 7.5 ton work.

If it experience you're after pal, I'd say join an agency for the first 12-18 month. Money ain't fantastic, but for experience it could be handy for you. Good luck

You will need to take any multi drop work from the agencies be it luton or 7.5 tonne as from experience in recruiting drivers I would not touch a 21 year old class 2 with none

Agency is the way to go mate, you will never be out of work as a well referenced HGV positive man. Class one or two.

Get as much experience with the trailer as you can, they are bastards to get the hang of
