Sorry, but a million pounds a week (car transporter/tanker driver money) couldn't get me back in the driving seat. Don't need the abuse.

They are only sending these out because their idea of getting foreigners over to do it has backfired!

At your age, I understand your decision... but for a young driver this is opportunity... many young people have family, mortgage to pay... maybe you have all, but others don't...

Just got up to mine. I love the fact that they're sending them out to the people that have stopped driving due to CPC. No mention of fucking it off though. I thought that might be one of their tactics, at least for a year or so, just to get arses in seats

that's what put me off driving after I came out the army in 2012. they never told us about any of the 5000 things you need to pay for before you can even drive. like CPC and then 350 for some other course.

it gets to be a bit stupid when you have to pay to work. I know some companies put you through it, but not all.

6 months ago wanted to buy a truck for my business, 35hrs of online boredom, don't think I'm bothering now with more cpc or operators licence, took 19 months to get my lucence back following a medical they insisted on and the fact wankers went on strike

if he gets a company to sponsor it he will be tied in for years with poor wages, the conditions for drivers are disgraceful, the hours are long and rarely get home in the week.
Help him pay for the licence and fo the test he can repay you whilst earning proper wages

I probably will not get a letter inviting me back to HGV driving because I am currently waiting for the Government run DVLA to update my License and reinstate my HGV entitlement so I can return to the Industry they are inviting everybody else back too. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
