Becoming a truck driver can be one of the most rewarding career paths to take. This doesn’t seem to be the case in school where you don’t often learn about these professions. However, experienced people within the industry will tell you just how great this career can be. The thing that has affected the journey to becoming a truck driver is the requirements that are now in place so it is important to identify these first.

Medical

The first step to becoming a truck driver is to complete a medical exam to ensure that you are not impaired in any way that affects your ability to drive. To complete this, it is advised to book an appointment with a doctor where you will have a short examination. The doctor would then need to fill in a DVLA form that you would acquire beforehand. The great thing about this is that any doctor can do it for you.

Theory Test

Just like you have to do when first learning to drive, you must take a theory test to become a truck driver as the theory behind it is a little different. This test is multiple choice and will require you to be at a test centre where you will complete it on a computer.

Training

Once the theory is out the way, you are ready to start training in an HGV truck. You will have a very experienced instructor to help guide you through this process. Some training companies offer free practical tests but usually, you will have to pay. Again, it is as simple as booking a standard driving test.

Obtain Insurance

Now that you have qualified, you will need your own commercial truck insurance if you will be self employed trucker. If you decide to work for a courier or haulage firm they will most likely provide the truck and necessary insurance. To find out more on commercial truck insurance average cost and how you can lower your HGV insurance premium, Multiquoteime proves an in depth article on this subject.

As you can see, there are a few steps to become an HGV driver but in the long run, it is incredibly rewarding. Not only are the wages good, but the experiences are something that makes this career incredibly gratifying. It is truly surprising that there is a shortage of HGV drivers in recent years.
