The Reasons Why You Should Become An LGV Driver

There are a lot of reasons why you should become an LGV or large goods vehicle driver. The primary reason is the number of vacancies for these types of drivers.  The LGV training company says the reason for the large number of vacancies is the fact that many current LGV drivers have left the industry. These drivers have found other job prospects and there are not enough trainees to take over all the jobs.

Higher Salaries

This demand for drivers has led to a lot of employers making their LGV driver positions more attractive to potential employees. LGV drivers are seeing higher salaries, better benefits and better working hours than in the past.

Regardless of the lack of qualified drivers, the salaries in this industry have always been considered to be relatively good. The salaries were regularly 50p to £1 above the minimum wage.

Great Job Security

Another reason why you might want to consider this career path is the job security. The industry is highly regulated in order to protect the rights of drivers. The lack of drivers also means that employers are taking as many steps as possible to retain the drivers they have.

The current lack of drivers has also been linked to individuals not fulfilling all the requirements to become an LGV driver. A lot of drivers will have a C+E and C class license, but do not complete the CPC training. CPC courses are held by authorised providers over a period of 7 days with 5 hours of training per day. To receive a DQC or Driver Qualification card, you will not have to pass any tests as it is based on attendance only.

The cost of the training and the DQC are minimal when considering the potential rewards. It is important to note that some employers are willing to cover the costs of this if the driver already has their C or C+E class license. This will make their job position more attractive to potential drivers.

A Flexible Career

Another reason why you should consider this career is the flexibility it offers. If you love driving on the open road, you can apply for long-distance positions. However, if you want to stay closer to home, you can look for regional positions, city or local hauling.

The licensing and the training requirements are relatively low and can be completed fairly easily and quickly. To start training for this career, you will need to have a regular car license. You will then have to get a class 2 or category C license which does require training and the passing of a written test and practical exam. Once you have this license, you need to look at a class 1 or category C+E license for better job prospects.

The length of time this takes will vary depending on the training course you use and the time you have available for this training. The fastest option will be a course where the trainer is dedicated to one-on-one daily training. If you have a job already, you can complete the training part-time on the weekends or when you have the time.
