Well this is a new one on me. Driver CPC. I drive for an agency in south wales and have been driving as a job for 10yrs. I self funded my C C+E licences in 2004. About £3000 in total. I strongly object to have to pay money out every 5 years (and the price will increase) to whoever just so I can carry on working. On speaking to a lot of drivers they are completely unaware that this will be the case every 5 years. I watch in anticipation at the numbers of drivers leave the profession as I will be one of them.

Considering the gross inequality in wages in this so called profession, from, in some incidents, large haulage firms paying their class one drivers £70 a day for a minimum of 11 hours, now this is scandalous.

Its a shame we as a nation are not like the French in some ways with their solidarity in protest, or is that a celtic thing??
