Important Requirements For Applying For HGV
Driving Jobs
Many jobseekers these days arecapitalising on the skills that they
already have, and the good news is,
there are numerous provisions out
there that really just require
certification and skills theres no
need for specific educational
attainment. Some of theseprovisions are heavy goods vehicle
or HGV driving jobs, and nowadays,
with the desire of many business
establishments to become more
mobile especially in meeting the
evolving needs of their customers,
theres high demand for highlyqualified drivers who can manoeuvre
a lorry weighing 3.5 tonnes or more across the country. In addition to this,
the salary for HGV drivers is quite attractive as well, which is largely why a
great number of people are targeting these jobs although the start-up
phase requires a considerable amount of investment. If youre one of the
people wishing to secure this job, you better set aside a budget to get the
training necessary to qualify for the HGV driving jobs offered by variousindustries.
For starters, you need to be of age to drive. In the UK, its 18 years old. If
you do not have a licence just yet, you need to get a full car licence. Once

you have these two necessary requirements, you can then proceed to
receiving training for HGV driving.
There are institutions that provide driving courses (which focus on hazard
perception from a large vehicle and other important lessons) for a fee, of
course for those who wish to become qualified drivers. The advantage
that comes with these institutions is the fact that they will already guide
you through the subsequent steps required for qualification, such as
applying for provisional entitlements to be added to your full car licence
and so much more.
In applying for provisional entitlement, you will have to order the D2 -
Application for a Driving License for a Lorry, Minibus or Bus form from the
DVLA website. Once you get the form, you would need to fill it up and
indicate the type of category of licence you wish to have. You can select
either the C1 or C provisional entitlement. Unless you only want to drive 7.5
tonners, we strongly recommend you go for the class 2 (C), the upgrade.
Most drivers opt for the Category C licence initially as it provides the driver
with more options. Along with the application for this licence and thesubmission of the filled-out D2 form, you will then have to submit a
complete D4 Medical Examination form which has been signed by a
registered medical professional to the DVLA; this form comes with a small
fee (dependent on your Doctor), especially if you will seek the assistance of
a GP.

Determined Benefits Of Driver CPC Training For
Transport Businesses
Road safety has always been a big priority and long-term goal for localgovernments especially with the concerning rate of drunk-driving cases
across the UK (especially during the weekends). Though the rate is not as
bad in this country as it is in the US, traffic authorities are enforcing
preventive methods to make sure that professional drivers in the UK are
some of the most reliable in the world. Nowadays, there are severe
consequences for drivers caught driving under the influence and, more
importantly, there are more policies to make sure that professional driverscompletely understand their responsibility in transporting passengers from
one destination to the next, or driving a really big vehicle that is definitely
more challenging.
To reinforce quality standards, professional drivers are required every five
years to undergo periodic Driver CPC Training. This course for the
Certificate of Professional Competence is completed in a total of 35 hours
throughout a week and the training is only valid towards certification if it
was approved and delivered by a JAUPT-registered provider. The main goal
of this system is to keep drivers updated with the newest policies as well as
to give them a refresher course on the most important lessons they need to
properly apply in their profession.
While there are some drivers who deem this system rather inconvenient,
the numerous benefits it brings cannot be denied. Fewer professional
drivers these days are responsible for road casualties, and with the
countrys roads dominated greatly by public utility vehicles, the Driver CPC
Training has undoubtedly improved safety for pedestrians, passengers, and
other drivers.

For owners of transportation
businesses, though, this
system provides the
following benefits:
1. Longer staff retention
Since drivers have the
proper training, they are less
likely to commit faux pas on
the job.
2. Improved fuel
efficiency Training covers the importance of certain driving techniques
(such as maintaining appropriate speed at all times, proper slowing down
of the vehicle, et cetera) that make sure to stretch fuel use.
3. Less maintenance Longer life span can be had for vehicle
components, tires especially, due to better driving. Along with this benefit is
the lower maintenance cost; turnover of parts will become less frequent
and that instantly translates to savings.
4. Lower insurance premiums With fewer road mishaps, there will be
less to pay for.
5. Maintained profits This is due to fewer business interruptions which
are the result of fewer accidents.
6. Better image for the transport company Commuters can be picky
with the public transport vehicles they ride, but if a company is known for
its respectful and careful drivers, more people are not only likely to choose
it over other companies, but they may choose to commute more often as
well.

CPC Driver Training And Licence Exemptions
For government
agencies, regulating
standards in various
workings of society is
better imposed by
demanding the
completion and
possession of specific
requirements. Pushing
for even safer transportation and improved traffic, professional drivers of
buses, coaches and trucks are mandated to hold a Driver CPC or Certificate
of Professional Competence license, apart from the vocation driving one.
Therefore, if youre seeking to be in the driving profession, you would
definitely need to undergo CPC driver training to receive your license and
to be able to drive professionally. The training course and application for
the CPC license are really only for those who want to make a living offdriving, so if thats not your intent or if there are special conditions to the
driving that youre likely to do for work, try to find out the exemptions for
Driver CPC licences first. Who knows? You may not need to complete
certain requirements. Dont be easily swayed by those people encouraging
you to take the course and saying you may need it one day, considering the
economic situation; the course demands a significant amount of time
(existing drivers are required to allocate 35 hours of their time to periodictraining to receive the driver qualification that is almost an entire week)
and money.
If you wish to know whether you are exempted or not, these are the special
conditions for Driver CPC exemptions:

Various Benefits Provided By HGV Driver Jobs
In the UK, it perhaps baffles many why a growing number of job seekers are
looking into driving for a living not race car driving, of course, but rather
driving those massive lorries that tend to occupy an entire country road.
Well, its not a bad career choice, for the UK is definitely so much better
than a lot of countries (like Nepal and China, where not only the roads are
described as among the worst in the world, but the so-called professional
drivers are also often impatient and reckless because they wish to get more
work done in a short span of
time). Its quite common
among these drivers to zoom
through the countrys
treacherous streets so they
can get to another job to be
able to make up for their often
low wages.
The Heavy Goods Vehicles orHGV driver jobs offered in the
UK, first of all, are really
lucrative sources of income; in
fact, during the global economic slump, even white collar professionals
took on these professional driving jobs to augment their income and better
secure their finances. The investment in receiving training and procuring
important requirements to become certified or qualified is just a smallfraction of the pay they can get for an important delivery job. Statistics
reveal that HGV drivers with Category C+ licences can expect an annual
salary of as much as 30,000 thats much higher than what most office
employees get in a year. Worth noting as well is how many of todays folks
already have solid driving skills and are decent drivers to begin with, so

upgrading their licences to become eligible for HGV driving jobs is rarely a
problem.
Another important advantage with these jobs is that theres a steady
demand to fill. With the need of various industries to become mobile,
delivering services and products is already part of their daily operations.
Likewise, as long as big companies need supplies and products to be
delivered to them and from them, HGV drivers will always have a secure
income generator.
In addition to those, many of these professional drivers claim that they
enjoy being able to see different parts of the country. Theres something
very enriching about going to a new place and seeing its own culture, the
peoples way of life, and meeting new friends in the process. Now for those
who like to stay close to home, they actually have the option to turn down
certain jobs (well, unless they are directly employed by a company). Also,
they can choose local routes if family dynamics require them to be closer to
home.
Lastly, years of experience in driving mega-trucks can create other incomeopportunities like branching out into a mobile business such as a
restaurant, a boutique, bookstores, and salons on wheels, which are all
quite popular nowadays.

1. Call all the providers recommended to you and those that you find
online. Sometimes, the prices change because of the fall of demand or
some other external factors. Also, there are training groups that do not
bother to publish their latest prices because the prices really are subject tochange. The best way to get the latest prices for HGV training is really just
to make a personal phone call; once youve asked about the prices, you can
proceed with the other questions you may have about the program.
2. Jot down notes about every provider you call. Your notes will serve as
good reference for comparing the deals. Say, for example, the one on the
other side of town is cheaper than the one in your community. If youre
going to commute to the other town for several days for the training, yourtransportation cost will make the out-of-town deal equal to the price of
training by the provider in your community. Or the other provider costs less
but they will not help you with the subsequent processes for your
qualification like the slightly more expensive provider. These are some of
the components that you can easily weigh in on if you have notes.
3. Inquire about special deals or promos. Remember, its a business for
them and training providers want to attract more customers. If they can tell
that youre looking for a good deal, they may even create one for you just
to make sure that you sign up with them. Also, try to understand the promo
because the plusses they promise may not even be a benefit to you, so
you may just be better off with a simpler deal thats more affordable and
convenient for you.
