Everything you said in this is very true. I just got my licence in Feb this year after a long and difficult journey through the Skillsbootcamp. It took a bit, but i just got my first job through an agency. Super happy. It's very hard work, though, requiring 50/50 manual labour and driving. The industry does look very saturated now for drivers but im still glad I got the licence. One of my hardest challenges

Thanks, for the algo

this is wrong you have have17 mins to make sure or 32 or 47 tacho can muck you up you have never actually driven have you lol

Your video is great and clear. Just check it. I start at 7am till 7pm. 7am to 1pm - 15min, 1pm to 4pm - 30 min, and what about the 4pm to 6pm 15min?

I would recommend getting a C+E license. I don’t drive for a living I just do it for extra pocket money through an agency. I’ve driven the last two Fridays and got £180 and £170. I did about 12 hours work total with less than 7 hours of that actually driving and I’ve earned £350! If you have the opportunity to do it then do it.

Thanks for the best video, just to clarify: If I work 8 hours a day (starting at 00:00) should I take one 30 min break at 5:59 or 5:45? And if I work 11hrs a day, will one 45 min brake starting at 5:59 or 5:45 cover WTD? Thanks

For example work start 06:00 break start 11:55end break 12:40 (total driver 3 hours) How much time will wtd increase? How long do I work? ( please reply)

This was helpful thanks

A good video, thank you. Leaving the UK domestic gas industry (not a moment too soon) about to train as a coach driver. This is very helpful.

I'm not entirely certain, but I believe one reason many companies refrain from accepting new drivers is due to the higher insurance premiums involved. Consequently, some companies prefer candidates who have held their licences for at least 12 months.

this is wrong it's always 30 min between 6 n 9 and a 45 before 12 hrs

If you want a hobby yes

Hi, what if I work for more than 6 hours but drive for less than 4.5 hours in a shift. Do I still need to take 45 minutes total break or 30?

I passed my class 1 licence 2 weeks ago. I’m lucky in a sense I have a family member at a company who has got me a start doing container work. The job isn’t starting until the end of April and they are setting up a week of training for me at a reduced wage to get me on the right track. Obv I’m grateful but I tried my hand at every agency known to man in the between time because I’m excited to get out in the truck but no one will touch me with a barge pole due to my inexperience.

And i watch them all the time I would like to kindly ask you On if you have any information on how to find a new class 1 category job with no prior experience I am a new driver with a full uk licence with a cpc and a tacho card. I am ready to start working right this moment in the uk and in Europe. I Speak greek, albanian and i am an intermediate in english.As of now i have already applied on indeed and findajob.dwp.gov.uk but they all want experience. And i want to start a full time category class 1 job, night/day shifts and the distance is not a problem it can be both long and short .

Clear licence with all point still inside Thank you so much for your time and continue making great videos God bless you ❤️

you never see the bus industry saying they need experience to get a job on the buses..... ok maybe 6 months driving a car.. what I'm saying is in the bus industry, if you have a pcv/psv licence you are most likely get a job, and with a hgv licence, you don't... this is why you see more and more young bus drivers! say you passed car test at 17, dunno what to do after school, after 6 months car driving experience, bus companies are happy to train you up and get you in the driver seat! and driving buses is much harder than lorries.. and some buses are much longer than class 2 lorries! you don't often see 18 year old driving lorries, my local first bus depot just passed 2 new drivers, an 18 and a 19 year old! what does that tell ya, the hgv industry has the mentality of so what if you have a licence, no experience no job.... you can't blame the ''shortage'' on brexit, blame the companies and their mindsets. you have shitload of new hgv licence holders waiting YEARS for their first runs.

dont really see women in the UK do HGV driving

Thanks for your help

Thank you😁😁🫡

Fantastic video, currently sitting my test and have taken notes from this. Also your other videos regarding driving hours etc are really helpful.

How much do class 1 and 2 earn on average, im thinking of doing it 🤔

Dzięki Monica! This is amazing. It was me who emailed asking for this ❤ So much useful information in this video. I actually have an interview on Wednesday for a company that my brother drives for but if that isn't successful i will for sure try some of your suggestions. This video is amazing and i hope you get hundreds of thousands of views 🙂

Dziękuję bardzo for all your viideos🙂

Where you from Monica? Love your accent 💞

thank you

Thank you, finally a short and straightforward answer to all my questions which I have complicated so much in my head 👍😃

Is it permissible to work/drive 3 hours take 15mins break then work/drive another 4 hours up until just before my driving time exceeds and take 30mins break.. And that's all together an 11 hour shift.

Hi if I start work at 06:00 have a 15 break @ 11:30 then work to 14:30 take a 30 min break and finish at 17:00 that ok

Don't forget:during pandemic the govt said these rules were unimportant

Thanks very much very helpful it's been 4 weeks since the clocks went back and every DAF i get in nobody has adjusted clock . 👍

So if i only work 5 1/2 hours(job and knock)everyday i dont need a 15 min break?

Thank you so much, as a new driver I was so confused on how and when to take my breaks but that explains it all

Hi please advise, just got back into HGV driving after many years away from the business. My question is do we have to keep a print out of each day worked ? In past I kept 28 days of printouts. I believe law has now changed ?

I love your accent it reminds me of the early vampire films when Dracula speaks, beautiful lady.

Basic and too the point! Excellent!

Which size fuses is it

I’m even more confused now lol

great video on 6 hour rule very informative till next 1 cheers👍

So if I work less than 6 hours not reaching the 4.5 hours driving I don’t need to take any break?

Thanks was good help

Example I start at 6am I’ve been driving for 4 hours total and I’m coming to the end of my first 6 hours so I take a 45 minute break which restarts my 4.5 hours of driving and my 6 hours I then drive in total for another 2 hrs and other work totalling 3hrs 45 which means I’m coming up to another 6 hours but I’m only 30 mins from my work so I have loads of driving time how long a break do I take to refresh the 6 hour timer? Many thanks

Really helpful thanks.

Dziękuję za pomoc pozdrawiam Piotr milego dnia 🤝👋🚚🚚🚚👌👏🙌🙌🙂

Hi, I’d like to ask I work 11 hours per day , I always take 15min and 30min break I start 6:30 to 17:30 ,( at 12:30 its 6hrs) and I normally take 15min break around 10:15 or 10:30, so before 13:30 or just at 13:30 I must take 30 min???? Can I exceed 13:30 ???? I must stop at 13:30??? Thank you very much

I’d like to ask you few more questions please

Seems strange to finish a shift and not be allowed to sign-off, til I have a break at the end of it, to satisfy these requirements- I'd rather go home.
