B1+ E to C1+E

The problems with lorry driving is long hours, low pay, increasing regulation, increasing risk of personal liability (fines and points), and most of all it's really boring.

 

No offence to any professional drivers.

 

I wouldn't trade tree work for it unless I really had to.

The points and penalty things would be a big issue to me. I appreciate you are in control and choose how you drive but the if you are on the road all day everyday you really increase your chances of getting points. I'm London based but I expect the same for most large cities - large vehicles make it easy to get box junctions tickets, tickets for double yellows, etc, etc. You can argue them but it still takes time and hassle.

This is the drum I bang on, on all points and as with everything else lack of respect and appreciation, everybody wants the material goods. But don't want trucks, plus you get carved up, which if fine but when the truck driver needs a bit more room it's viewed as bullying.

You are on your own.
