I am entitled to drive a 7.5t lorry on my licence as I acquired it in 1995.

I know I can't drive it for work as I'd need cpc, tacho, 6 weeks check, 'O' licence blah blah blah.

However, if I wanted to use 1 under 100km to go and collect my own materials and not for work or profit.

Would that be allowed?

From experience what would I need on top of insurance, mot, tax, valid driving licence.?

I'm still looking and no I'm not being a lazy Cnut but the question is there.
:mrgreen:

Ps, not transit specific but I could use a 4.6t or eurocargo whatever.




its a very dark place

if you drive a 7.5 ton for hire and reward then you will have to apply for O license and will need road risk insurance etc, and cpc, tacko will have to be calibrated BUT you dont have to have a digi card in if you are only working within a certain radius of the base you work from.found this out a few weeks ago working for a big demo company and one of the lads driving a 5 ton merc van doesn't require a tacko digi card as hes working within the permitted ring of 30 miles radius of the company base
