As for UK HGV drivers who are currently not driving, I would point out that if you contact a Driver Agency seeking work, they will only offer it if you are available the next day- they most definitely WILL NOT make you any offer that would be sufficient to encourage you to resign from a non driving job-it's just "pack you're job in and contact us again when you're available"
Most large hauliers self insure.Most HGV insurance policies will only cover drivers with 2+ years experience.

Can you do that? They must have a bond sat somewhere?Most large hauliers self insure.

"The term ‘self-insurance’ can often be misunderstood and mistaken for the scheme which involves placing a £500,000 bond with the Government - Instead, self-insurance can also mean taking out a third-party insurance policy so the fleet takes the risk of any collision damage to its own vehicles."

Just to clarify-none of the above is trueHe has stated previously he is the equivalent of a red tractor inspector for haulage, works as a RHA clipboard wielding driver assessor so well away from the real world of driving and it's day to day issues

Never had anything to do with RHA, currently employed in the transport industry.
Now tell us a bit about yourself @Sid. Like why you feel the need to constantly have little digs at others (not just me) on TFF. Is it personal animosity, or just a character flaw?
Whatever the reason, I'm sure most people find it rather tedious.
go to a persimmon site, that will tell you all you need to know about the value (or otherwise) of being "qualified" in a trade.When big companies hire they generally go for qualified ,they need that for insurance purposes and to know the work will be up to a standard , I`m talking about big projects such as housing estates and bigger, not a retaining wall in some ones garden.
Worth noting as well you wont even get on site to sweep up unless you have a CSCS card , all machine drivers including tractor drivers need to be qualified to drive on construction sites, you cant walk out the farm yard and onto a site , but get a card and you`ll earn at least double the money and finish at six every night.

someone remind him driving a truck is not a profession it’s a job.
