Keeping Cool in Your HGV in Summer

Written by Hannah

Wearing for lighter clothes such as T-Shirts and shorts help to stay cool throughout the summer – just make sure management agree first!
Lucky enough to have air conditioning in your cab? Don’t forget to make the most of it!
Wearing a hat can help to keep the sun away from your head, as well as allowing you to concentrate better on the road by keeping the sunlight out of your eyes.
Having a mini fridge can be especially helpful, allowing yo to keep cold water in your vehicle for those long journeys
Sunglasses can help to keep you cool by blocking those rays, as well as helping you to keep your vision.
Sun lotion is a must! You don’t want to get burned behind the wheel!

A big thank you to the whole team at HGV Training Network! You are real professionals. Everything was perfectly organized, from my home to the Theory Test Centre, then to the Training Centre, and finally to the Test Centre. I didn’t have the money to pay for my training, but you helped me find funding and organize everything. You made me feel comfortable, even with my English. Great job and very professional. Wishing you all the best! Thanks again, I highly recommend you

Fantastic experience, I have had no issues with admin or people I’ve interacted with on getting the licence. Hgv network provided all the details and help I needed through emails and calls to check on how I was doing. The training centre they booked me with was pleasant and the instructors were a good laugh and were positive throughout the experience. Started on the Monday and had the licence by the Friday. Highly recommend this service and I hope you get a flawless test result like I did!

From the start to the finish of my training Richard Allan was there to help and support me. He sent all the relevant training materials for me to study in my own time. There was plenty of information, case studies, tests and hazzard perception videos for me to study. He was always available on the phone if I needed any assistance. I would highly recommend HGV Training Network.

Starting your Hgv training can be daunting and lonely at first sight. I came across Hgv training network who was highly recommended following the great reviews I had seen. From the start they was very informative as of what was acquired from myself and provide great resources to pass your theory. They do all the bookings from the theory to a training centre close to myself. They was always there on the phone if I needed any advice and are very supportive. I have now passed my theory and my practical test first time of asking. They take a lot of pressure of you and I can highly recommend for anyone in a similar position to me. Thank you.

A massive thank you to HGV Training Network! I was completely unaware of what was required of HGV drivers and how to get my licence but thanks to Richard and John who have explained everything and helped to guide me through the entire thing, always professional and positive! The app provided, helped me through all the theory and the from there everything was simple! Cannot reccomend enough.

Just want to say a huge thankyou to HGV Training network for making everything so simple, from the starter pack to the training app and all its information, which massively helped with my theory for class 2 and cpc, and ultimately passing all practical tests. Charlie and Johnny where there whenever I needed assistance, advice and any bookings made, and made the whole process seamless from start to finish. I only actually dealt with Richard when I had passed all and qualified, and he was professional and shared in my joy, and sent the relevant information for me to apply for my digital tachograph. Really glad I went through them. Thankyou guys 💙🚚🫶

The staff are extremely helpful and I had the pleasure of dealing with Rich from the office who helped me a lot during my experience when training. Any issues were resolved quick and communication was spot on from them. Rich was lovely to talk to and very friendly. Whilst doing my training and tests I had the please of being instructed by a different Rich at Craig bakers where they sent me to do my training and he was just as great. Very patient and amazing at his job. Would not have passed without these two.

Will Poole

The team at HGV Training Network did an outstanding job of setting out the process and providing learning materials to gain the theory parts of the LGV driving test and CPC module 2. Booking for the theory test and the driving modules alike were provided in short order, meaning I qualified in a little over six weeks from the initial call with Ray. I couldn't recommend this team highly enough.

Still working with Charlie. He got my medical, licences and class 2 training sorted. They make a daunting process much simpler so you can just focus on the training. It does cost more but I feel the extra stress would have been to blame for any retests. Passed first time and now in work within a month. Any questions I have starting out he is always happy to help too. Nice to have a support with things as it is a different world at times

I want to express my sincere appreciation for HGV Training Network in particular Richard, and the incredible support they provided throughout my HGV training journey. From the very start, they made the entire process so much easier by guiding me through the paperwork, helping with form filling, and ensuring everything was submitted correctly and on time.What really stood out to me was how accessible and supportive they were—any time I had a question or needed reassurance, they were just a phone call away. Whether it was about medicals, theory training access, or what to expect next, they were always ready to help, never making me feel like I was on my own.They also gave me access to excellent online theory training resources, which were a massive help in preparing for the theory tests. Thanks to their step-by-step guidance and consistent check-ins, I felt confident and well-prepared throughout the process.HGV Training Network truly played a key role in helping me reach this milestone, and I’d happily recommend them to anyone starting out on their HGV journey.Thank you Richard, you made the whole experience easy to follow and having a chat with you put me at ease every time.

This is the best place you can get a top notch HGV training. They will literally hold your hands and walk you through every step and process.I got my C+E licence through them. And even when I didn't have the finance to start the journey, they made sure I got the finance I needed and I passed all the tests without having to repeat any. I guess it boils down to my determination and making use of all available materials and training provided to me by the HGV Training Network. And they are willing to help me work out my CV at no additional costs.Above all, they don't compromise on high standards of training. What an experience 😊.

When I decided that I wanted to pursue my C+E Licence, I went to HGV training network and spoke with Richard who stayed with me from start to finish. He was informative and helpful and got me set up and ready to go swiftly. I passed my test first time and within an hour of passing, Richard had rang me to congratulate me. Very impressed and would recommend them to anyone wishing to gain an extended vocational licence.
