Post by: yer auld aunt nelly on April 06, 2006, 17:19:19: You are kidding arnt you,you might as well have stepped of the moon it seems.Than be a newly passed hgv driver! All im hearing is 2 yrs minimum exp recquired :cry: And by what i been told by all the container drivers we get out of "kentish"ports (about 10-25 per day) is you have to "be happy" with five to six pounds an hour!So wheres this 80,000 shortage in HGV drivers :roll: NONE of the agencys will even bother putting you on the books.Anything else is "euro" pay if you know what i mean.(I've even had "easterly european"drivers in a happy state at getting a flat Ã‚Â£250.00 a week :shock:) So how do you"get in" when you have a NEW liscense? :roll:

Post by: dew1911 on April 06, 2006, 19:17:58: Maybe not what you want to hear, but the easy way could be to get a Wagon on Finance and get into Tippers, Bardon Quarries round me will take anyone who can provide a wagon that's under 7 years old, and it seems a similiar situation across the country for them at least.

Post by: gtomo2 on April 06, 2006, 19:32:20: get yourself a hi-ab licence and or demountable forklift licence. And you will find it a lot easyer to find a job. and try big firms they are more likly to take you on. And dont want to start a riot but around here tipper drivers dont have a good name as the work load they do means they break the law offten. And self employed is very scary when you have a Ã‚Â£60,000 truck. You will also need you operators licence and pass a cpc test plus you need Ã‚Â£18,000 in the bank to get you op licence plus have some were to park the truck up that no on objects to. its a lot of hassle. Much easyer to just work for someone and get a nice payslip at the end of the week :lol: And there are a lot of jobs out there that pay good money but they are dead mans shoes to get in to.

Try them. Avoid trying to find a permanent contract until you have more experience. Get the experience with the agency, and when they send you to a job you like, and they offer you the right conditions, stay there.

Down in Kent, if you have a class II, you get Ã‚Â£9/hr. With the HIAB ticket, Ã‚Â£9.50.
