,Ve driven trucks for more years than I'd want to admit but my son has bought himsi used van and he is making m in a week than lam. For a st he isn't ruled by a tacho.
Is it any wonder that there's such a terrible shortage of experienced heavy goods drivers when ■ can make more driving a va than a 38-tonner?
Driving a heavy wagon h; never been a soft job but at least it used to be a long-ter prospect with the chance tc make a decent wage. Now tl demands made on drivers a rising as wages fall. To be fa my wage isn't too bad, but seen adverts offering only 1 an hour for an HGV1.
My advice to a beginner would be to forget it. Be a "white van man" instead. J Trescothick Bode, Cornwall.
