How your training works, from medical to test

Teaming up with a finance company, we offer finance options to our customers, so ask about spreading the cost when you call.

Learning on the roads you will actually drive

Glasgow driving is its own skill. The Townhead interchange, the Kingston Bridge approaches, tight access into city centre delivery bays and the climb out towards the north of the city all appear during training because they appear in the job. Drivers who train elsewhere and then start work here often find the first fortnight harder than the test was.

Where our Glasgow trainees end up working

  • Distribution and chilled work out of the Blochairn and Port Dundas units
  • Supermarket and pallet network trunking from the M8 corridor sites
  • Construction and tipper work supplying sites across the city
  • Waste, recycling and council contracts using rigid vehicles
  • Multi drop city centre work, where C1 and Category C both come into their own

Choosing between C1, Category C and C+E in a city

City work rewards manoeuvring more than mileage. A 7.5 tonne vehicle on C1 gets into places an 18 tonne rigid cannot, Category C covers the bulk of Glasgow depot work, and C+E is the one to take if you intend to trunk out of the city rather than deliver inside it.

500 plus drivers trained and an 85% first time pass rate.

Parking, arriving and the first morning

There is space to leave a car at Blochairn, which matters more than it sounds when the alternative is a city centre car park for a full training week. Buses from the city centre run close by, and we tell everyone the same thing on the first day: arrive early, bring your licence, and have breakfast.

Where you train

All training runs from our base at 130 Blochairn Road, Glasgow, G21 2DU.
