Getting Your HGV Career Motoring
Whether you have just passed your heavy goods vehicle driving test or are on the path to becoming a qualified HGV driver your next move is critical. At the end of the day the ultimate goal of getting through and passing the rigorous HGV licence theory and practical assessments is to get a well-paid and rewarding job, driving these fantastic industrial machines.
To help you launch your new career we have compiled a list of some of the biggest potential HGV driver recruiters in the HGV and LGV sectors in the West Midlands. Most of these use their own fleet of articulated lorries - so to drive one you will need a `Category C + E` HGV driving licence. Some will also have rigid lorries which require a `Category C ` license and a few may also utilise 7.5 tonne large vans, to drive those you need a `Category C1` driving licence. If you haven`t got your HGV licence yet then A1 training can help, as thousands of HGV drivers, living across the Midlands, have passed their test through our personalised HGV training schools. Our technical training and classroom lessons cover the entire practical and theory categories required.
