WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME AN HGV DRIVER IN 2021
There is currently a national HGV driver shortage. This means that haulage companies across the nation are desperate for HGV drivers to help make their deliveries – Read about it here https://driverrequire.co.uk/hgv-driver-shortage-crisis
HGV driving offers an exciting and varied lifestyle
You could find yourself driving anything from an 18t rigid lorry to a 44t articulated lorry with a trailer. The type of goods you deliver can be anything from groceries to building materials, medical supplies and household items. The list is almost endless – Read about some of our clients https://driverrequire.co.uk/clients/testimonials
