Large goods vehicle (LGV) drivers, previously known as heavy goods vehicle or HGV drivers, are employed to drive goods in commercial vehicles from one destination to another, usually from a supplier to a customer.
They drive all kinds of vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, including rigid trucks, articulated lorries, and trucks pulling trailers and may drive long or short distances.
Drivers may be required to plan their journeys and schedule their deliveries.
The basic working week is usually 40 to 45 hours, but many drivers work overtime.
Strict legislation governs the amount of hours a lorry driver can spend driving and resting.
Modern lorries are usually comfortable and may have air-conditioning and heating.
Some have sleeping bunks, fridges and even cookers. Outside the lorry it can be heavy, wet and dirty work.
LGV drivers can work anywhere in the country, especially experienced drivers with category C+E licences.
There is currently a shortage in LGV drivers so jobs for licensed drivers are readily available.
Many LGV drivers are self-employed.
LGV drivers working for a haulier or distributor could progress into self-employment operating their own vehicles, perhaps eventually owning a fleet.LGV drivers can earn from 14,000 to 30,000 a year. (Permalink)
