What is a Class 1 Licence (Cat CE) and How Does it Compare to a Class 2 (Cat C)?

The distinction between Class 1 and Class 2 HGV licences is crucial for budding HGV drivers. Holding a Class 1 licence allows you to maneuver category C+E vehicles – articulated lorries or drawbar vehicles, with a combined weight of up to 44 tonnes.

Since November 2021, changes in regulation have enabled candidates to bypass the Class 2 licence directly for Class 1, streamlining the path to becoming a Class 1 driver. At 123HGV, our direct access course is a testament to our adaptability and success, boasting an impressive pass rate and popularity among our trainees.

How Much Can I Earn as an HGV Driver in Manchester?

In Manchester, the earning potential for HGV drivers is significant. Experienced Class 1 drivers can command salaries up to £50k annually, with opportunities to increase earnings through specialised work like tramping or obtaining qualifications for transporting hazardous goods.
