If you\u2019ve chosen your new career, you\u2019ve read up and decided, you\u2019ve gotten all the facts together and you\u2019re all ready to get started on your quest to be one with the road, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019re going to want to start to get familiar with the nitty-gritty, the foundations that make up the HGV driving industries. Here at Surrey and Hampshire HGV Training, if you\u2019re looking for any type of HGV training in London<\/a> or the surrounding area, we have the tools you need! To get you started, here\u2019s a brief overview of two important things to consider when venturing out into the world of HGV driving \u2013 the license, and how you\u2019ll be getting it, and the tax.
\n
\nFirst of all, getting a license is, of course, your first foray into the industry, your entry point and the first port of call you should start with. If you\u2019ve ever glanced over HGV license information, you may have become lost in a flurry of categories and weights and classes, but whilst it certainly differs from a standard license, it isn\u2019t as complicated as it looks.<\/p>\n

Category C1 <\/strong>\u2013 Allows a vehicle with a maximum authorized mass of between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes, with a trailer up to 750 kilograms to be driven.<\/p>\n

Category C1+ E<\/strong> \u2013 Allows for the same constraints as C1, only the trailer may exceed 750Kg, as long as it does not exceed the un-laden mass of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Category C<\/strong> \u2013 Allows the holder to drive any rigid goods vehicle weighing over 3.5 tonnes with a trailer up to 750Kg<\/p>\n

Category C+E<\/strong> \u2013 The Class 1 license allows the holder to drive a vehicle weighing over 3.5 tonnes, with over 750Kg for the trailer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth knowing which of these you\u2019ll need to be aiming for in the long term as well as the short term, for future jobs and vehicles you may need to drive!<\/p>\n

There are separate ways to tax a HGV without being posted a reminder, to that of a car or similar vehicle.<\/p>\n

V85 HGV License Application <\/strong>\u2013 This form must be used to TAX the heavy goods vehicle, and should be done so on the fifth day of the month, should your tax run out at the end of that month.<\/p>\n
