5 questions before you accept an HGV job
- What time do I start, and is it a window?
A fixed start and a start window from 04:00 to 08:00 are different lives. Ask if it is planned the day before. - Am I home every night?
Day work, trunking, or tramping with nights out in the cab, and what the night out allowance is. - Is there handball?
No handball, some with a tail lift, or heavy. At the same rate, they are different jobs. - What will I be driving?
Age of the fleet, gearbox, sleeper cab, HGV sat nav, and what is on the back. - How do you score tachograph infringements?
Most firms run a points scheme from the tacho data. Ask to see it before you start, not after your first infringement.
