Jesus mate, how much are you going to spend to get a £60-£100 a day job? Doing artic licenses is stupid money, unless the employer is willing to pay for them.

 

I got my HGV 1&2 a few years ago,best thing i ever did.Good luck in your arb career Yogi93:thumbup1:

Is it? I'd consider it an investment in my future. It would seperate me from the rest of the identical college graduates and it would show any potential employers that i'm willing to invest in myself.

 

Also if arb work is slow i can drive lorrys and i can drive lorrys and tow big chippers for the arb company. If i did forestry i can lug the machines around the country on a low loader. Also the EA who use a lot of tractors, not technically for agri use may all need to get HGV vehicles to use them.

 

Also out of interest my forwarder ticket is the only one that an employer has paid for. I have a lot of chainsaw tickets and machinery tickets that i've paid for. Why should an employer invest in me if i'm not prepared to invest in myself?

 

I don't doubt the usefulness, I'm sure it will pay for itself in the long run, but its just a lot of money for someone to lash out unless you have a guaranteed income that you would not get without it.

i know were you are coming from but why spend when you do your c+e it is cost less per licance than if you did the BE only as with the C+E you get C, C1, B+E, C1+E as well. and if you have any bus ones as well you will be able to tow with them, as well

 

if you think alot of bigger arb compieas they have a lorry over 3.5 tons withs a haib and chipers over 750 so doing your CE gives them flexablity with opratotrs. and a most of forestry contractors all work with lorrys to.

 

and if you are woundering why i whant to do my CE it is that it gives me more flexablity at home as it means i can drive our lorry and when i am at uni do temp when i am free.(its not bad money) it also mean i can tow the catle trailers. whitch is anoying. i

You all have good points I think ill wait to get the CS units at college, its alot cheaper. In the mean time ill look into C and E licences and look at little jobs driving here and there. Thanks alot you've opened my eyes to a fair few options
