Different? Sawn in half I'd say!

Don't even need batteries, they come with a sealed for life lithium ion battery, just needs charging up. (With the supplied lead)

There are a few 10-12 tonners around, Cromwell usually have a few newer ones.

Check out the link Pete, there's a table halfway down which clearly states which license categories are covered. https://www.gov.uk/driver-cpc-exemptions-examples#when-you-dont-need-driver-cpc Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

This is how you calculate your rates. Work out your overheads for the first year. Add on whatever you want to earn. Divide by the number of days you want to work. That is the amount you need to bring in every day you work.

You can apply for an interim licence, I got up and running within a fortnight.

Don't forget as a subbie you get to offset your expenses against tax liabilities and only pay a tiny amount of NI. I used to do very well as a subbie, much better off financially than as an employee, and less stress and hours than running a contracting co.
