HGV Driver

HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) drivers are responsible for transporting goods across the UK and sometimes to other countries in Europe. The role involves driving large vehicles such as lorries or articulated trucks, making sure goods are delivered safely and on time. HGV drivers must have a special licence, known as a Category C or C+E licence, and need to follow strict safety and driving regulations, including keeping accurate records of driving hours. The job can involve long periods on the road, loading and unloading cargo, and sometimes dealing directly with customers. It is a vital role for the UK economy, ensuring that products reach shops, warehouses, and factories efficiently.
