Understanding HGV Driver’s Hours

Written by ChrisSeptember 15, 2016

If you drive a goods vehicle in the UK you’ll know about the limits to driving hours and enforced rest hours. If you don’t know about these then you need to learn quickly because going over the limits could land you in hot water. These are here for your safety and the safety of other road users, driving a HGV whilst tired turns it into a dangerous weapon and any accident could have lethal consequences. It’s important that these rules are taken seriously.

I recently had the pleasure of undertaking HGV training through the HGV Training Network, and I cannot praise them enough for the outstanding service they provided. From start to finish, my experience with them was exceptional, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure my success in obtaining an HGV license.First and foremost, their team of instructors were highly knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. They guided me through every step of the training process, offering clear and concise instructions while also taking the time to address any questions or concerns I had. Their patience and willingness to adapt to my learning pace was truly commendable, ensuring that I felt confident and well-prepared for both the theory and practical tests.Moreover, the administrative staff at the HGV Training Network were incredibly friendly and efficient. They assisted me with all the paperwork, booking the necessary tests, and scheduling training sessions at my convenience. Their attention to detail and prompt communication ensured a smooth experience.In conclusion, I recommend the HGV Training Network to anyone looking to pursue a career as an HGV driver.Their commitment to excellence and personalized approach make them the perfect choice.Thanks again to their comprehensive training program, I was able to obtain my HGV license with confidence.

HGV training network have given me an excellent service from beginning to end. My handler Richard Allen was extremely professional, friendly, and helped me throughout the whole process in order to achieve my Class 2 licence. If you want to pursue getting your HGV Class 2 or Class 1 licence these guys are the ones to go to. The whole process took about 5-6months but I'm now a qualified driver and ready to hit the road and start working.

HGV Training Network expertly put all of the steps in place to facilitate my transition from car to C+E. Communications were outstanding from the start, they always explained everything perfectly, we’re there for any question I had regardless of how simple it was as I’m a complete newcomer to the industry going in blind, and as they took care of all of the logistics for me everything was stress free. The trainers they used were truly outstanding and gave me the best possible chance of passing everything first time, which I did. Top class service from start to finish and couldn’t recommend them enough.

From starting the process in early March to taking, and passing, the practical examination in May, the team at HGV Network were with me every step of the way. Their guidance instilled confidence from the beginning and knowing that they covered all the necessary arrangements ; theory, hazard perception, CPC tests and practical driving, it allowed me to just focus on the studying and to learn as much as possible from the literature provided. The support I received was first class and I can not thank the team enough, especially Ben, who was there for me throughout.It has been a fantastic experience and I would urge anyone who's considering HGV training to give HGV Network a call, you'll not be disappointed.

If you want a company who will hold your hand throughout the entire process from start to finish and beyond (will get you into a job) who are responsive to calls, emails, additional support and will do it all with a smile on their faces… then HGV TRAINING NETWORK is the answer to your prayers. I cannot recommend them enough, Richard and Chris take a genuine personal interest in getting you through every stage, the paperwork, the form filling, the theory and then the practical. It doesn’t stop there, they will ensure they provide support way past the point of passing your test, I can still confidently call them up and know they would be giving me the best advice for me. Finding this company was the best thing that could have happened to me on the HGV journey. Rest assured you are in good hands. Thankyou HGV TRAING NETWORK for getting me through it all, I could not have done it without you by my side.

Jamie Sarwat

1674235075

Great firm. Before starting was unsure who to go with as there are loads of dodgy company's out there in terms of booking your course. Spoke to Richard and within 30 minutes was sure this was the right way to go. They keep in regular contact and make sure everything runs smooth from your medical to driving test. Managed to obtain my license within 80 days thanks to Richard and his colleagues. Don't hesitate to contact them as they are the way to go no need to look elsewhere

Andre Mcronna

1673876374

I initially was on the hunt for a decent HGV training company in 2021 and made an enquiry with the HGV Training Network (spoke to Chris) but wasn't sure if I wanted to purse with driving so waited. Fast forward two years later I contacted Chris via email on the off chance he would remember me - he did! A massive thank you to Chris and Richard for their dedication and help, quality sales experience from Chris and encouraging support and advice from Richard. I would most definitely recommend HGV Training Network for anyone that wants to take a realistic approach and manage their expectations to becoming a fully qualified HGV driver - which I now am! Great would guys.

I've been working with HGV Training Network for the last couple of months to gain my Class 2 licence, from the first point I contacted them to the end they've been nothing but flawless. There is no hassle or stress going through HGV Training Network everything is booked for you on the dates/times that are suitable for you.My go to contact was Ben who provided me with an in-depth break down of both the Class 1 & Class 2 licences to choose from with no BS like any normal salesperson would provide just to gain money and once signed up he gave me all the resources to get through both my Theory & Case Study tests and was constantly available to call if I needed anything explained or help with during this time. (Passed first time) I then got passed over to Richard who helped me through my Driving/CPC practical tests, again I can't fault what he provided me to pass my Driving/CPC first time.I've come from a background with no prior knowledge or experience working in this industry & got told if they can do it, you can if you go in with that mentality then you set yourself up to fail as it's not easy. Use the resources/contacts that they provide you & listen to all the information that is given to you during the run up to your tests and you can't go wrong.Thanks again for everything you have done for me 👍. Highly recommended

HGV Training Network are an amazing company. They helped and guided my son who has Aspergers through his training, step by step, at his pace, and made adaptions where they could to assist him with his motivation, because it has taken him 3 years. This is through no fault of his - Covid, DVLA issues and an influx of people wanting to be drivers. But they, as I had complete faith in him. He passed last week and is now fully qualified and looking for work. RICHARD ALLAN you are an absolute diamond, my son and I cannot thank you enough and would 100% recommend YOU and HGV training network as a brilliant company. They really do care about their customers and are extremely professional.

Gave the company a call just to get some advice, ended up speaking with a guy called Richard Allen (awesome guy btw). After listening to what he had to say I took some time to decide if it was for me, decided to go for it an it turned out to be one ot the best things I've done. I booked 20 hrs in class 1 gotta top quality trainer from rsm called rus who is really a great guy easy to get along with, professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He just reminded me of hank from breaking bad 😆 🤣. Rang Richard back after I passed 😉 had another great phone call with him, he left me with a contact for potentially getting a new job aswell. Big 👍👍 to HGV Training Network.

Scott Russell

1655503898

The people working for HGV Training Network are a credit to their company. Predominantly, I dealt with Richard, however at the beginning I was also assisted by Chris and I spoke with Sarah a few times throughout my training as well. Whenever I called they were always on hand to help and, if not available, called back right away. Their material is set out in a way which makes it easy to follow and they always explained things fully and in a way which made me confident at every stage. Richard is a great guy and always had time for a quick chat and a laugh whenever we spoke. Due to a change in jobs I had to put the training on hold for a while but when we touched base around a year later he remembered everything about my family and personal circumstances - that’s what I call going the extra mile and someone who cares. A huge thanks to you all, I couldn’t have done it without you. Until next time. Scott

Helped me book and finish my class 2 training in under three months.HGVTN was the first out of many brokers I had called to explain the best course for me instead of push me to take the most expensive option so I went with them.Great team with efficient planning and close relationships with their training companies. Always know which student is calling when they pick up. Thanks Richard and the team
