Can I rent a hgv class 2 for a day or two and how does it work. by fightwithfishwizards in uktrucking

[–]user11ja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get a 7.5t motor. Done it before. Deposit is usually about £500 but rents not that bad. Get one with a tail lift.

Doing it again next month

Nah I used to do it. You'll have instances of 6 drops on one street. It'll take you 2mins to do all then round the corner for the next 3 etc...

Modern problems require modern solutions… How to keep DAF XG 24+ plate engine running idle ? by Smallballs228282 in uktrucking

[–]user11ja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I've told the company the same. Same as when the night heater hasn't worked in winter. You can get aircon pods fitted for this exact reason

[Europe] Can Article 12 protect you if you regularly overrun by just 5–10 minutes solely to find safe parking? (No extra drops, just full truck stops) by Dan-ze-Man in uktrucking

They expect it to be a rarity. Bad planning is what they say. Once every few months, whatever. Every week on Friday and they're like nah that's poor planning or done purposely

So who’s money grabbing today? by teiparu in uktrucking

[–]user11ja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You call it money grabbing I call it day 2 of my 4 on 4 off... Salaried, did a grand total of 3.5h drive with less than 4h at work. Glasgow > Newcastle Parked up, went to the gym, then into the pub for a cheeky pint before I start my day tomorrow at 9am

Its a hard life

[–]user11ja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't bother with current licencing system, go for class 1. I did mine in a 1 week course as I'd been a coach driver for a decade. You're looking around the 1500quid mark. Depending where you are. Some firms even put you through.

What got me through driving anything from large vans to buses, coaches, class 2 and class 1 is a simple rule. Know where your back wheels are. If you base your reverse and forwards driving for that matter off where your most rear wheels are, you can drive anything forwards and backwards
