Looking at getting my HGV class 1 license

Hello all,

I’ve always been interesting in trucks I’ve just not had the money sitting around to go for the training. Spoken to a couple of brokers and I’ve been quoted £3099, £3599, £3399.

I’ve seen on here that booking everything yourself and going to an independent driver school works out cheaper, I’m mainly looking for some advice on good local driving schools (Fife,Scotland) area and how I would get started.

My understanding is, Medicals, Provisional, CPC, Practical.

I used to work on a weighbridge at a landfill site which had artics and tippers coming in daily and speaking to the drivers they have said that their respective company’s would take on newly qualified driver would this be realistic?

Cheers.
