RECRUITING: Driver classic/race car transport. West Europe

[bobt]

Having bought a race car transporter (7.5 tonne MAN), and a closed trailer (up to 2.2 tonnes payload), I need to make them earn their keep. To that end they will be avaiable for hire from January 2017. I am based in France, near Toulouse, and have both French and UK businesses. I have a UK Ltd Co. that could employ a general purpose driver. That driver could live in the UK or France, I could potentially provide accommodation for the right person. The right person must have appropriate work permits, driving permits, driving skills, loading and unloading of expensive car skills, customer facing skills, and shed loads of enthusiasm, motivation, drive, ambition and all that stuff, that makes for a happy worker and a happier boss. Salary, bonus, perks etc. are all up for discussion. I would anticipate the driver would attend a lot of classic race mettings in Europe, work with some high net worth customers, have the occasional day off on the Cote d'azur, anyhere in Spain, France, Italy or other fun parts of Europe.

The right candidate could be any age and either sex. The best person for the job (in my opinion) will nbe the person who is offered the job.

If you think you have the right set of skills drop me a PM.

I wish I had the license for this as it would be right up my street

For those who passed their driving test before Jan 1st 1997 you already have a licence to enable you to drive a 7.5tonne truck (C1 vehicle classification).

If your liecence is after that date you would need to take a test.

+1, If the wallies at the DVLA gave me my LGV back I would certainly be interested, sounds great.

I thought so too, but apparently not on a professional basis unless you've got a CPC, according to this...

http://www.commercialmotor.com/news/dvla-warns-7-5...

I have a C1 and a C1+E entitlement, and checking my licence on-line with the DVLA confirms this, but it makes no mention of the above new CPC clause/exemption in the listed clauses/exemptions for C1 and C1+E.

Has BobT ever replied to anyone on here or elsewhere?

7.5 ton plus 2.2 ton means C1+E and a drivers CPC. Truck would also need an International Operators Licence.

Exactly & he can't leave it in France on a UK one, so he'll need a froggy one which will be an utter headache & given chap didn't even know about the need for o licences at all, (as I put a pal in touch with him ) I'd say this idea is quite a while off fruition.
