Thinking of having a go at my HGV licence - Any pointers?

[Roger Woods]

I have just resigned from my job in the middle east and return to home at the end of August, I have always fancied having a go at getting what used to be referred as a class 1 HGV licence (not sure what its called now days), I have managed to sort most of our finances out recently so its time I can have a go at some thing I fancy. I live in West Sussex, any good driving schools PH's can recomend?

I have been reading a bit and thought that rigids first is the way I will have to go, I have found a couple of schools near where I live and will visit and have a chat when I'm back in July for a few days before I finish in Riyadh at the end of August

To be honest its not about money, we have managed to do quite well over the last few years and its more about me doing a job I really fancy doing and I enjoy driving so 10 pound an hour would be fine for me, I live right near Gatwick and there always seems to be driving jobs about, I'm looking at options at the mpment and driving is one of them

Doogz - Thats where I am, its just one of those things I fancy doing, a bit like my bike licence all those years back, the schools I have looked at seems to be around a grand for a weeks course plus test, I think I will have a go. - thats the first week of Sept sorted for me then!

ROG - I passed my car test March 1984 - I have my medical this Wednesday for my licence application.
