HGV Drivers

To be a good HGV driver you must have lots of patience, large amounts of energy, be a self-starter and can be an effective sole worker.

Such a combination of traits can make it tough to find the right candidate for the job, and when you then build in the requirements laid down by UK law around licences and qualifications you need to be a rather unique person indeed to be a HGV driver.

A lot of the legislation makes sense of course as a fully loaded HGV can be a dangerous weapon in untrained hands and it is for this very reason that specialist HGV Insurance is also an absolute necessity.

Whether you have a N2 or N3 HGV licence you will have to be covered by a good HGV insurance policy and to find out exactly what you should be covered for you should speak to experts such as the team at Isis Insurance, who will only be too happy to help you out.

HGV insurance costs are a lot more expensive than Van Insurance. Trucks cost a lot more and can deliver a lot more damage in an accident.

But as with many things in life it is the harder things that produce the best rewards and HGV drivers can expect to be paid well for their endeavour. Typically you can earn upwards of £9 per hour as an agency driver but much more with overtime. And the same applies to employees also. Working for a good HGV firm you can expect to earn £30,000 plus, which, if you enjoy driving, is a great wage for a rewarding job.
