Only to first cut. Deminimis.

You can do the same everywhere assuming your SWB is over 5m long. I use a 5.2 tonne Iveco MWB thats about 6m. There are a few more parts to the test compared to a car. The C1E is not 7.500kg + 3500kg. Its a vehicle in the 3500-7500kg range plus a trailer to make a combined GTW / GCW up to 12000kg. Ok you need a better trailer / brakes to go over 3500kg.

Er saw milling is not forestry.
-
Just because it looks Forestry does not make it forestry.
-
PS yes auto is now ok if you have a car manual. But only for C CE & D DE. Not for C1 or D1
-
Or your memory is going........
-
I wonder if they were playing games with the system. Some lorry & bus companies have their own approved testers but only for their own staff. I wonder if they held the test till the first licence was issued then sent in the second forward dated.
-
Whats the pass dates for both?
-
Yeh then you could take the CE without waiting for the licence to come back.
-
The licence after passing could come back in 10 days BUT if you booked a course & test and then it does not come back in time you loose your money. So best to wait till its in your hand.
-
C & CE? Or even straight to CE. You cant do that anymore.
-
Thats an interesting one. The driving side I can be quite accurate, the theory / cpc side is very much down to you. Start studying for the theory Mod 1a / 1b today & give it serious time & you could pass in a month assuming tests are available. I would also do the Mod 2 study & test at this stage. Pass all 3 tests then book a mod 3 course & test. In winter I could get you in within a month. In summer you might wait 3 months. You cant book the mod 3 in case you fail. Also do the Mod 4 at the same time as the Mod 3. Or when you do the C1E. Times for practical courses:- Mod 3 C1 14 hours over two days inc test Mod 3 C1E 7 to 10 hours over 1 or two days inc test Mod 4 3 hours inc test

Not at all. The tractor is an exemption. Plus a tractor at 30mph has less energy that a car & trailer at 60mph. Never mind a 7.5 toner running with trailer up to 12000kg. Travels far less distance & hours on the road too.
-
Costings with us medical £50 Mod 1a/1b £60 Mod 3 £365-£585 Mod 2 £40 Mod 4 £130 To add E £365- £485
-
You cant do it that quick. You have to pass C1 then send licence off. When it comes back then take C1E.
-
But then you cant go straight to C1E either. The full process is as follows:- Order D2 & D4 forms Take medical Apply for provisional Take mod 1a & Mod 1b tests (LGV theory & hazard) Take Mod 3 practical test. IF you need CPC Take Mod 2 test Take Mod 4 test
-
NO
-
You cant just do your class 1. You have to take C first, then CE. Budget about £2.5-3k
-
Do you actually need C & or CE? Would C1 & C1E cover it? Lots cheaper to get.
-
Nope. You can tow still on the BE but with any vehicle over 3500kg you can only tow 750kg plated trailers.
-
Rog What do you make of the recent changes to the Tacho guidance & the DCPC guidance? Ditto the haulage & trailer regs inc trailer registrations (currently only for EU use but UK will happen too I bet) & the potential for trailer MOT's?
-
Thats why its good to post new threads as the info gets a, lost in the many pages & b, filled up with questions that are actually covered if you read it all. Plus no one reads stickies lol.
