Top Reasons To Become A LGV Driver In The UK

Top Reasons To Become A LGV Driver In The UK

 

Currently, the top reason for becoming a LGV (Large Goods Vehicle Driver) in the UK is that there seems to be a large number of vacancies available.

easons-to-be-a-lgv-driver-in-uk

This is mainly due to the fact that current LGV licence holders have left the industry for other job prospects and that there are a lack of new trainees in the field.

This is leading to employers adjusting their policies to make LGV driving positions much more attractive. Drivers can therefore start looking forward to earning higher salaries, receiving greater benefits and better working hours than before. Despite the current lack in LGV drivers, salaries in the industry have always been considered to be relatively good, often between 50p and £1 above the minimum hourly wage.

Another factor that makes a career in LGV driving a positive choice is job security. The industry is not only highly regulated to protect the rights of drivers but the lack of drivers means that employers take steps to retain their current employees.

The current lack of drivers is also due to individuals not fully fulfilling the requirements to become a LGV driver. Many drivers already have their C+E and C class licences without completing the necessary CPC (Driver Certificate of Professional Competence) training. CPC courses involve training provided by authorised providers for a period 5 hours per day over 7 days. There are no tests or examinations and receiving a DQC (Driver Qualification Card) from the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) is based on attendance only.

The fee involved for the training and acquiring the DQC is nominal. However, as part of their drive to make positions more attractive, some employers in the industry are willing to cover the cost if drivers are already in possession of a C or C+E category licence.

Another reason to consider a position as an LGV driver is the flexibility involved. Drivers who prefer the open road can apply for long distance positions that involve travel throughout the UK or even abroad. Those who prefer to remain close to home can opt for positions that offer regional, local or city hauling.

Driver training and licensing requirements are relatively low and can be achieved rather quickly. In order to start training, drivers must first have have a regular car driving licence. Next, a class 2 or C category licence is required which involves training, a test and practical examination. Upon achieving the C licence, drivers can further their prospects by achieving a class 1 or C+E category licence.

The amount of time taken to achieve these licensing requirements is dependent on the training course taken and the time available that can be dedicated to the training. A course where the trainer dedicates time to the learner on a one on one, daily basis is fastest.

In fact, individuals can pursue a career in LGV Driver Training without impacting their current job by opting for part time training on weekends or when they have other time available.
