HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A LORRY DRIVER?

It typically takes between 6-8 weeks to get your license, but some of that time can be spent waiting for the DVLA to process your application.
My tip for you is to start revising for your LGV theory tests as soon as you request the application forms. This way, you'll be ready to take the tests as soon as your new license arrives.
Practical HGV training is usually offered Monday-Friday or over a similar schedule for candidates with no prior experience driving larger vehicles.
Remember, the earlier you start revising, the more time you'll save in the long run!

GOV.UK - Download and Order DVLA forms 14/01/2023

So what is the first step to becoming a lorry driver?
As a lorry driver myself I can answer this.

To become a lorry driver, you must hold a full UK driving license and be 18 or over.
You can take HGV driving theory and practical tests if you have a full car license. The overall cost for this process is around £250-£300.
Apply for a provisional lorry driver's license and submit a D4 medical form. For last, you need to go on a CPC course and that's it. You are ready to drive!

Here is a link to order the D4 medical form:

GOV.UK - Download and Order DVLA forms Order and/or download application packs that contain all the forms and information. Downloaded application forms will need to be printed out onto paper and submitted to the appropriate DVLA address given on the form.
