There is a need for more drivers to take HGV courses in Scotland – and the solution to the shortfall is not down to just half of the population to provide.

If you are thinking of getting HGV driver training in Glasgow, you may be very pleased by the news that the industry is getting greener by going electric.

If you plan to regularly drive a minibus, you will need driving lessons and a license to operate it, but in some cases a conventional car license might suffice.

Drivers undertaking HGV courses in Scotland will not just develop the skills that qualify them to drive large vehicles, but become safer drivers as well.

Drivers may be more attracted to the idea of getting HGV training in Scotland thanks to a change to Driver Certificate of Professional Competence training.

Service stations are a critical part of HGV infrastructure, enabling lorry drivers to safely refuel, refresh and rest, but they are set to benefit from £43m.

. Different countries have different vehicle standards, and that is especially true for heavy goods vehicles and training regimes.  However, whilst differences in rules for HGV training are difficult to directly see, the differences in regulations are impossible not to notice when looking at the different body shapes and designs between lorries in the UK

Centuries before modern heavy goods vehicles and courses to drive them safely, the first lorry was a far more rudimentary albeit innovative proof of concept.

A fact that everyone on a HGV course learns is that lorries are limited to 56 miles per hour, but why is this the case and why was such a specific speed chosen?

If you want to drive larger HGVs weighing more than 3,500 kg, you will need to get a category C licence. Doing so could greatly expand your career options.
