Scotsbird Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) My chaps a 62 year old hgv driver moving to Melbourne, are there plenty of hgv jobs around for a guy of his age. Will he need to resit the driving test out in Oz or can he transfer the gb one over. What sort of cost if he needs to resit it.

VERYSTORMY Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 He will need to resit his test. Costs will depend on which class. Does he have a visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrfoggy Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi there I've done it was a class 1 driving tankers in the U.K. He will need to sit a test for his licence. There called heavy rigid which is class 2. And heavy combination which is class 1. There's also multi combination which is the road trains. Will take him roughly 1 or 2 days depending which one he goes for. Cost is approx 800$. He will have to pass the smaller truck test before he can get in the bigger truck. All the trainers also test you so it's a lot easier than the test in Scotland he'll have no bother. Need any further info just msg me I drive trucks here for 2 years working all over. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrfoggy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I was working with Linfox and agency work got hired straight away. If your a truck driver in the uk your in demand. There's also plenty of agencies that will take you on. Pass the test you will have work the very next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
