7.5 tonne licence help

[Mr_Squirrel 10]

whats the difference with c1 and c?

 

As stated by DT Ralge but slightly more detailed yet simplified...

 

C1: 3.5t - 7.5t GVW 2 axle

 

C: 7.5t - 38t GVW up to 4 axle rigid body

 

C+E: Anything that bends between the driver and the end of the wagon.

 

All with the exception of 'specialist' cargo's such as tankers etc

passed my car test in 2001 so dont quailify to have c1 on my licence so can drive upto 7.5 tonnes van ect....

 

if i passed in 1997 would have had the c1 on my licence crazy :loopy:

 

 

anyways has anybody on here took the test to allow you to drive upto 7.5 tonne vans if so where and how much did it cost ect.....

 

If you are unemployed give Yorkshire Trust a ring on 01709 720530 as they provide free lorry training funded by the government.

If you are not unemployed then you will need to contact Tal training in sheffield who can provide you training for a price.

ok so you think over a thousand pound seems fair??

 

The cost will depend on how many lessons the driving assesser thinks you will need before going in for your test.

if you are going to spend that kind of money it could be worth going in for your full HGV class 1, then you are more qualified and you can drive anything then. I past my car test in 1990 and have drove 7.5 ton trucks of various types I want to buy a 7.5 recovery sleeper cab truck in the near future and I'm really pleased I passed in 1990.

Good luck to anyone going in for the truck test no matter what licence they go for, Like I said if your going to spend money think big and go for the full HGV.
