Was going to start a what airhorn thread but resisted

 

Also sorry for jumping gun earlier

Thought it was 12 weekly inspection on a restricted? My garage told me 60 quid a time.

 

You can do them yourself you know.

O license application through a consultant around £1k

 

 

Driver training to C+E ( more than you need, but may as well) £2200

 

Insurance is cheap if part of a fleet but dear if insured individually for a new driver.

 

 

10 week inspections are typically 2 hours labour if done by mobile fitter at your yard.

 

General day to day running costs won't change much, and may even decrease long term as you won't be wrecking clutches, flywheels and springs etc like on a little truck. It will consume more diesel per mile but you'll do far less miles as you won't need to tip as often so cheaper overall on fuel IME, my lorry usually only gets filled once a month.

Air horn is mandatory in the cool factor, I was gifted one from a customer who had worked on the rails, intercity air horns are proper respectable

You can agree whatever inspection intervals you want up to 13 weeks, however I was advised to apply for my o license with 10 week intervals to avoid causing any hassle, then apply to stretch them out after a year or so once I can prove how little mileage the lorry is doing.

Cool thanks, the truck it's replacing did 4.5k last year.

They do like to see shorter intervals on stuff like tippers, going on sites is a hard life for a predominantly tarmac dwelling truck

That is understandable, for standard tippers, my neighbours 8 wheelers seem to have at least a puncture a week between them.
