It’s a great shame they got rid of the hgv farmers tax band making using lorry’s on farm more expensiveShame they wouldn’t give farmers class 1 and help the situation out , been looking at doing it recently stuff that what a carry on yet I can drive a fastrac nearly as big on car licence absolute joke .

vice versa, yet a truckie could drive a tractor leagaly ?It’s still completely different though, they behave differently, handle differently, turn differently and is about ten times harder than it looks intill you get the hang of it!!
I saw that . WtfI spotted somewhere today that they're relaxing rules for car trailers.
Maybe a fleet of Vauxhall Astras and trailers will save us.
8k was just greedy I bet the instigator of that little game is not popular now .A local haulage firm owner that I am very friendly with got cornered by his 7 drivers last Friday, all wanted another 8k a year to stay.. When the lorry's return home this evening it's game over.. today is his last day as a haulier.
Every one of his driver's has spent the week trying to get him to reconsider as they like working for him and the conditions.. they want the better money that another firm is offering but don't actually want to work for them. A good reminder on wishful thinking.
I would say so,8k was just greedy I bet the instigator of that little game is not popular now .
Any idea what that was? I need to get my trailer test done. Ridiculous considering I've been driving tractors and trailers for yearsI spotted somewhere today that they're relaxing rules for car trailers.

DVLA strikes aswell. Huge backlog of testing etc
If you need it, I'd get an application in for a lesson or two and a test. PM me if you want a recommendation for an instructor who covers your patchAny idea what that was? I need to get my trailer test done. Ridiculous considering I've been driving tractors and trailers for years
Basically that, grain is fine on a pad.How are you coping as a big Camgrain user?
I guess if you can tip it on a concrete pad somewhere they have the capacity to dry it once they can get lorries?
And breath naturallyDo I feel sorry for the firms that can't get drivers? Do I FECK! They weren't crying at the last EU accession when the age lower limit for an LGV licence had to be reduced from 21 to 18 to accommodate those with a tractor and trailer licence from God knows where, who came over to fill the seats vacated by UK drivers, not prepared to work for less. Or those who felt that their previous years of experience should excuse them from having to spend a week in a classroom, every five years ( often at their own expense) , just to keep their jobs. Or even those who knew they couldn't legally comply with the EU bulls!it WTD and either retired or found something considerably less stressful to do with their time.
There is a few that cannot drive forward, never mind reverseI get artics in here and honestly I wouldn’t let half them on the road, I get them can not reverse to save save their own life some total morons Romanians are the worst but suspect they ain’t even got a licence anyway .
