PS In the UK, you need an LGV (light goods vehicle) driving licence for
anything above 3.5 tons unladen, and an HGV driving licence for anything
above 7.5 tons. Anyone know what you could put in a 3 ton truck? My own
truck, 0.9 tons unladen, can carry 0.5 tons payload, but I imagine the
ratio has improved since the 1940s... On the other hand, I know someone
who is an HGV driving instructor so if these opportunities are going to
come up, perhaps I should ask him for a few lessons...
Yes, we have similar requirements here. You have stduy for the license,
take the written and driving tests and be tested for drugs. It's not
something you can do on short notice.
